If a street light of mass M is suspended from the end of a uniform rod of length L in different possible patterns as shown in figure, then:

pattern A is more sturdy

pattern B is more sturdy

pattern C is more sturdy

all will have same sturdiness.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

Pattern A is more sturdy because the moment of the tention about the fulcrum is maximum in A to counterbaalance the moemen of ,mg acting from the centre of mass of the rod.
