Question
**Problem CM4:**

A 58 kg circus performer hangs from a bar suspended from a ceiling as shown in the figure. If the bar has a mass of 12 kg (and its weight acts at its center) and has a length of 1.4 m, what is the tension \( T_2 \) in the rope? The rope is attached 0.85 m along the bar.

**Diagram Explanation:**

- The diagram shows a horizontal bar with a circus performer hanging from the end.
- The bar is supported by two forces: \( T_1 \) and \( T_2 \).
- \( T_1 \) is the force exerted by the ceiling on the rope, directed upwards.
- \( T_2 \) is the tension in the rope, making an angle of 50 degrees with the bar.
- The center of mass of the bar is shown, indicating where the weight of the bar acts.

**Given Data:**

- Mass of performer: 58 kg
- Mass of bar: 12 kg
- Length of bar: 1.4 m
- Attachment point of rope along the bar: 0.85 m from the pivot
- Angle of tension \( T_2 \): 50 degrees

The task is to calculate the tension \( T_2 \) in the rope using statics principles and the given conditions.

Step 1

Given data,

Mass of performer M=58 kg

Mass of rod m=12 kg

Length of bar L=1.4 m

Length of rope L'=0.85 m
