A non-uniform bar of weight W and length L is suspended by two strings of negligible weight as shown in figure. The angles made by the strings with the vertical are 
and 
respectively.
The distance d of the centre of gravity of the bar from its left end is
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Let 
and 
be the tensions in two strings as shown in the figures.
For translations equilibrium along the horizontal directions, we get
….. (i)
For rotational equilibrium about G
Dividing equations (i) by (ii), we get
