A weightless rod is acted on by upward parallel forces of 2 N and 4 N at ends 
and 
, respectively. The total length of the rod is 
. To keep the rod in equilibrium, a force of 6 N should act in the following manner
A
Downwards at any point between 
and 
and B
Downwards at midpoint of 
C
Downwards at a point 
such that 
such that D
Downwards at a point 
such that 
such that
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Taking equilibrium at C,
so, point should be 1 m from point 
.
