1. A uniform rod of weight W and length L, at the zoo is held in a horizontal position by two ropes at its ends (Fig. below). The left rope makes an angle of 150° with the rod and the right rope makes an angle theta with the horizontal. A monkey (Alouatta seniculus) hangs motionless at distance d, from the right end of the rod. a. Draw a free-body diagram of the rod. b. Write condition for rotational equilibrium for the rod with respect to the center of gravity of the rod. 150 250 m 0.50 m
