Fy Fx The plant in the picture has mass of 29 kg, and is hanging at a distance of 2.2 meters from the wall. The horizontal rod has mass of 8 kg. Assume that its weight is evenly distributed, therefore it can be treated as a single force at the center of mass. The rod is 3 meters long, and there is a cable at a 28° angle supporting it at the end. Using the wall as the axis of rotation, find the magnitude of the downward torque, from both the weight of the rod and the weight of the plant. N.m The downward torque is balanced by the upward torque from the force of tension. Find th e ma'gnitude ef the ferce of tensien
