Question

The uniform bar shown in the figure weighs 40N and is subjected to the forces shown. Find the magnitude, location, and direction of the force needed to keep the bar in equilibrium.

I cannot seem to figure this out. Step by step instructions would be fantastic.

Explanation / Answer

due to perpendicular forces torque will be there and due 80 N at 30 degree, horizontal force 80cos30 in the left,and torque due to 80sin30 that is 40 N will be there.

torue=force*perpendicular distance
