A rigid rod XY has negligible mass and length . The rod is suspended from a fixed point P by a string attached to end X. An object of mass is suspended by a string that is attached to the rod at a distance of from end X, as shown.




Which vertically upward force acting on end Y of the rod would hold the rod horizontally in equilibrium?
