A uniform rod held in horizontal equilibrium by a force F.
A uniform rod held in horizontal equilibrium by a force F.
A uniform rod of length \(L\) and mass \(M\) is attached to a vertical wall by a hinge. The rod is held in a horizontal position by an external force of magnitude \(F\) applied to the end of the rod furthest from the wall. The force is applied at an angle \(\theta\) relative to the rod, as shown in the diagram.

Which of the following expressions represents the magnitude of the force \(F\) required to maintain the rod in static equilibrium?
