Correct Option: B
Being a uniform rod, the height W should be acting at the mid point 25cm mark.
∴ Taking moment about the fulcrum, F,
200 x 10 = W x 10 + 40 x 30
2000 = 10W + 1200
=> 10W = 2000 - 1200
= 800
w = 800/10 = 80N
∴ Taking moment about the fulcrum, F,
200 x 10 = W x 10 + 40 x 30
2000 = 10W + 1200
=> 10W = 2000 - 1200
= 800
w = 800/10 = 80N
