A weightless rod is acted on by upward p...

A weightless rod is acted on by upward parallel forces of `2 N` and `4N` ends `A` and `B` respectively. The total length of the rod `AB=3m`. To keep the rod in equilibrium a fo rce of `6 N` should act in the following manner :

A

Downwards at any point between `A` and `B`

B

Downwards at the mid point of `AB`

C

Downwards at a point `C` such that `AC = 1 m`

D

Downwards at a point `D` such that `BD = 1 m`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
(d) `2(3 - x) = 4x rArr x = 1 m`.
