One end of a uniform 4.0 m long rod ofweight w is supported by a cable. The other end restsagainst the wall, where it is held by friction. The coefficient ofstatic friction between the wall and the rod isµs = 0.50. Determine the minimumdistance, x, from point A at which an additionalweight w (the same as the weight of the rod) can be hungwithout causing the rod to slip at point A.
