Answer
To find the magnitude of the force $T$ on the rod from the rope with a single equation, a rotation axis be placed at the point labeled C.
Work Step by Step
To find the magnitude of the force $T$ on the rod from the rope with a single equation, a rotation axis be placed at the point labeled C.
Then, to find $T$, we can consider the counterclockwise torque from the rod's weight and the clockwise torque from the force $T$ on the rod from the rope.
