Case A: horizontal 50 cm rod; Case B: tilted 40 cm rod; each holds a 200 kg mass.
Case A: horizontal 50 cm rod; Case B: tilted 40 cm rod; each holds a 200 kg mass.
In both cases, a massless rod is supported by a fulcrum, and a \(200 \, \text{kg}\) hanging mass is suspended from the left end of the rod by a cable. A downward force \(F\) keeps the rod at rest. The rod in Case A is \(50 \, \text{cm}\) long, and the rod in Case B is \(40 \, \text{cm}\) long (each rod is marked at \(10 \, \text{cm}\) intervals). The magnitude of each vertical force \(F\) exerted on the rod will be
