Uploaded: 2026-07-22T22:11:34.964Z
Description: A uniform rod $AB$ has a mass of 40 kg. The rod is 3 m long and makes an angle of 60° with the horizontal. End $A$ slides in a smooth vertical collar (reaction is horizontal only). End $B$ rests on a smooth floor (roller; reaction is vertical only). A horizontal cable connects $B$ to a fixed wall. Determine the tension $T$ in the cable.
