There are two conditions that hold in these sitwations: 1. The resultant force in any direction is zero. ons 2. The sum of moments about any pivot is zero. c= ae A uniform beam AB of mass 6kg and length 4m rests on a pivot at the point C where AC = 2.5m. A block of mass m kg is placed on the rod at point B so that the rod is in equilibrium. Find the mass of the block and the magnitude of the reaction at the support.
