A rod of length 4.00 m with negligible mass is hinged to a wall. A rope attached to the end of the rod runs up to the wall at an angle of exactly 45, helping support the rod, while a sign of weight 10.0 N is hanging by two ropes attached to the bottom of the rod. The ropes make an angle of exactly 30 with the rod as shown in Figure P14.79.
