A store's sign has a mass of 20 kg and is 3.0 m long. It is uniform, so its center of gravity is at the center of the sign.  It is supported horizontally by a small loose bolt attached to the wall at one end and by a wire at the other end, as shown in the figure.  What is the magnitude of the net force that the bolt exerts on the sign? a)460N b)230N c)200N d)120N e)300N
