A uniform beam of weight `W` is attached to a verical wall by a hings `H`. The beam is held hotizontal by a rope as shown below.

Which one of the following best shows the direction of the reactoin force `R` at the hings?

A

B

C

D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
FBO of rod
For rotational equilibrium net torque about COM of beam should be zero and for translational equilibrium net force must be zero.
