Solution

For an object to be in equilibrium, both the resultant force and the resultant torque need to be zero. This is because equilibrium involves both translational (movement in space) and rotational (spinning or turning) balance. If there is a net force, the object will accelerate or move, and if there is a net torque, the object will start to rotate. Therefore, for an object to be completely still and stable, both the net force and the net torque must be zero.

Write the necessary equations of equilibrium of the object shown in the figure below. Take the origin of the torque equation about an axis perpendicular to the page through the point O. (Let counterclockwise torque be positive and let forces to the right and up be positive. Use the following as necessary: the forces Rx, Ry, Fx, Fy, and Fg; the length ℓ of the object; and the angle 𝜃 that the object makes with the horizontal.)A rod of length ℓ makes an acute angle 𝜃 clockwise from the horizontal. A point at the left end of the rod is labeled O. Five forces act on the rod as follows.A force with magnitude Rx begins at the left end of the rod and points horizontally left.A force with magnitude Ry begins at the left end of the rod and points vertically up.A force vector Fg begins at the center of the rod and points vertically down.A force with magnitude Fx begins at the right end of the rod and points horizontally right.A force with magnitude Fy begins at the right end of the rod and points vertically up.ΣFx = = 0ΣFy = = 0Σ𝜏 = 0 = 0
