Question

You decide to cut an L-shaped object out of cardboard so that the object is in static equilibrium if hung as shown in (Figure 1). The vertical bar of the object has a width of x = 5.2 cm.

 

Find the heigth of the horizontal bar.

The image depicts an L-shaped object with an axis of rotation located at its top corner. The vertical section of the L-shape has a height of 20 cm, while the horizontal section extends 16 cm. The axis of rotation is marked with a black dot at the corner where the two sections meet.

Here are the key details:

- **Vertical Section (y-axis):** The length is 20 cm.
- **Horizontal Section (x-axis):** The length is 16 cm.
- **Axis of Rotation:** Indicated by a black dot at the intersection of the two sections.

This setup suggests an analysis of rotational dynamics, likely focusing on moments of inertia or rotational motion around the defined axis.
