Pictured below is a smooth bar (no friction) held in position by a pin and contact with the wall on the left end and subjected to a vertical load P at the right end. Find the distance d that the force needs to be along the bar for equilibrium given the pin is a distance a away from the wall and the bar makes an angle 0 with the horizontal. The weight of the bar is negligible. (Hint: Use the three equations of equilibrium and solve for d. The values for a, e, and Pare constants.)
