In the figure, a nonuniform bar is suspended at rest in a horizontal position by two massless cords as shown in the figure here. One cord makes the angle e = 40.4° with the vertical; the other makes the angle o = 49.6° with the vertical. If the length L of the bar is 3.0 m, compute the distance x from the left end of the bar to its center of mass. L com X = i
