- One end of a uniform { = 4.30-m-long rod of weight w is supported by a cable at an angle of 0 = 37° with the rod. The other end rests against a wall, where it is held by friction (see figure). The coefficient of static friction between the wall and the rod is µ. = 0.490. Determine the minimum distance x from point A at which an additional weight w (the same as the weight of the rod) can be hung without causing the rod to slip at point A. B Need Help?
