A uniform rod 9 m long weighing 40 kg is pivoted at a point 2 m from one end where a weight of 120 kg is suspended. The required force acting at the end in a direction perpendicular to rod to keep it equilibrium, at an inclination 60° with horizontal, is

c.g lies 4.5m which is at a distance of 4.5 - 2 = 2.5m from the pivot.

Mb = 0.
120*2*cos60 - 40*2.5*cos60 -7Ra.
7Ra = 120-50.
Ra = 10kg.
120*2*cos60 - 40*2.5*cos60 -7Ra.
7Ra = 120-50.
Ra = 10kg.

Can anyone please provide a pictorial representation for this question?

Simple 120 * 2/40 = 6.
Now, 60/6 = 10.
Now, 60/6 = 10.

Equation moment about the pivot,
120 * 2cos(60) = 40 * 2.5 cos(60) + xcos(60)
or, 240 - 140 = 7x
x = 20kg.
Now, this is the weight of rod acting vertically downwards..to calculate the force perpendicular to the rod, resolve it in a direction perpendicular to the rod.
Hence,
Force = 20 cos (60) = 10kg.
120 * 2cos(60) = 40 * 2.5 cos(60) + xcos(60)
or, 240 - 140 = 7x
x = 20kg.
Now, this is the weight of rod acting vertically downwards..to calculate the force perpendicular to the rod, resolve it in a direction perpendicular to the rod.
Hence,
Force = 20 cos (60) = 10kg.

40 * 9 * 2/120 = 720/120 = 6.
tan60 = 1.732.
tan60 * 6 = 1.732 * 6 = 10.39~= 10.
tan60 = 1.732.
tan60 * 6 = 1.732 * 6 = 10.39~= 10.
