A uniform, 100-N pipe is used as a lever as shown in the figure. Where must the fulcrum (the support point) be placed if a 500-N weight at one end is to balance a 200-N weight at the other end? What is the reaction force exerted by the support on the pipe? Assume that the length of the pipe is 35 meters.
