2. An 18 ft. uniform rod is being balanced by a fulcrum. A suspended load at the left end has a magnitude of 100 N while a 120N load is suspended on the other end. A box weighing 20kg is placed on the rod with a distance of 4.5m from the 100 N load. Two vertical cables located at 1/3 and 2/3 of the length of the rod is supporting the rod with a tension force of 55 N. Solve for the magnitude of the reaction at the fulcrum and its distance from the right end of the uniform rod. The mass of the uniform rod is 12 kg.
