AP Physics C: Mechanics
5.5 Rotational Equilibrium and Newton’s First Law in Rotational Form
5.3 Torque

| \(F_{N,1}\) (Load at \(x = \dfrac{2}{3}L\)) | \(F_{N,2}\) (Load at \(x = \dfrac{2}{3}L\)) | \(F_{N,1}\) (Load at \(x = L\)) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Row A | \(\dfrac{5}{6}Mg\) | \(\dfrac{7}{6}Mg\) | \(\dfrac{1}{2}Mg\) |
| Row B | \(\dfrac{4}{3}Mg\) | \(\dfrac{2}{3}Mg\) | \(\dfrac{5}{3}Mg\) |
| Row C | \(Mg\) | \(Mg\) | \(\dfrac{2}{3}Mg\) |
| Row D | \(\dfrac{1}{3}Mg\) | \(\dfrac{2}{3}Mg\) | \(0\) |
Which row in the table correctly identifies the upward normal forces \(F_{N,1}\) and \(F_{N,2}\) exerted by the sawhorses for the given load positions?
