Question

A rigid uniform bar of length L and mass m is suspended by a massless wire AC and a rigid massless link BC. Determine the tension in BC immediately after AC breaks.

Answer 1

hello the needed diagram is missing attached below is the diagram and the detailed solution

The tension in BC =
`(√(2) )/(4) mg`

Step-by-step explanation:

ATTACHED BELOW IS THE DETAILED SOLUTION T THE GIVEN PROBLEM

Ma = mg - T/
`√(2)` equation 1

Ma = 3T /
`√(2)` equation 2

equate both equations to determine the tension on BC
