One end of a uniform 2.0-m-long rod of weight o is supported by a cable at an angle of 0 = 37 with the rod. The other end rests against a wall where it is held by friction. The coefficient of static friction between the wall and the rod is µ, = 0.45. Determine the minimum distance x from point A at which an additional weight o (same as the weight of the rod) can be hung without causing the rod to slip at point A.
