One end of a uniform { = 3.80-m-long rod of weight w is supported by a cable at an angle of e = 37° with the rod. The other end rests against a wall, where it is held by friction (see figure). The coefficient of static friction between the wall and the rod is u = 0.525. Determine the minimum distance x from point A at which an additional weight w (the same as the weight of the rod) can be hung without causing the rod to slip at point A.

Question
One end of a uniform { = 3.80-m-long rod of weight w is supported by a cable at an angle of e = 37° with the rod. The other end rests against a wall, where it is held by friction (see
figure). The coefficient of static friction between the wall and the rod is u. = 0.525. Determine the minimum distance x from point A at which an additional weight w (the same as the
weight of the rod) can be hung without causing the rod to slip at point A.
