Massless rod pivoted at \(W\) with upward forces \(F\) at ends \(V\) and \(Y\).
Massless rod pivoted at \(W\) with upward forces \(F\) at ends \(V\) and \(Y\).
A massless rigid rod of length \(3d\) is pivoted at a fixed point \(W\), and two forces each of magnitude \(F\) are applied vertically upward as shown above. A third vertical force of magnitude \(F\) may be applied, either upward or downward, at one of the labeled points. With the proper choice of direction at each point, the rod can be in equilibrium if the third force of magnitude \(F\) is applied at point?
