Chapter 11: Problem 19
A 3.00-m-long, 190-N, uniform rod at the zoo is held in a horizontal position by two ropes at its ends (\(\textbf{Fig. E11.19}\)). The left rope makes an angle of 150\(^\circ\) with the rod, and the right rope makes an angle \(\theta\) with the horizontal. A 90-N howler monkey (\(Alouattase\) \(niculus\)) hangs motionless 0.50 m from the right end of the rod as he carefully studies you. Calculate the tensions in the two ropes and the angle \(\theta\). First make a free-body diagram of the rod.
