Physics

A 2.00 m long uniform steel bar rests on the ground and againstthe wall. Both the wall and the ground are frictionless. THe steelbar makes an angle of 50 degrees with the ground. To keep the steelbar in static equilibrium, a horizontal wite attaches the steel barat 0.500m from the bottom to the wall. The mass of the steel bar is60kg.

a) Draw a free body diagram showing all the forces on the steelbar b) Using total force =0 write down the equations for both x andy directions. Then solve or simplify the equations as much as youcan. c) Choose a point at the axis of rotation and write down allthe torques (with sign) based on your choice of rotational axis.Then using total toorque=0, solve all the unknown forces on thesteel bar
