Problem #5 One end of a uniform { = 4.00m long rod of weight w is supported by a cable at an angle of e = 35° 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 My = 0.500. 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
