Appy Varignon theorem at A, which states moment produced by the resultant force at any point is equal to the sum of the moment produced by the indivisual force at the same point.
Appy at A, we get 20x = 3 * 2 + 7 * 9 + 10 * 15.
20x = 219, Hence x=10.95cm.
Appy at A, we get 20x = 3 * 2 + 7 * 9 + 10 * 15.
20x = 219, Hence x=10.95cm.

RESULTANT* FORCE DISTANCE OF RESULTANT ACT FROM SUPPORT = SUM OF MOMENT
R * x = M.
R = 3+7+10 = 20 KG.
SUM OF M ABOUT B = (3*2)+(7*9)+(10*15) =219 KG.cm.
219= 20x,
x = 219/20 = 10.95cm.
R * x = M.
R = 3+7+10 = 20 KG.
SUM OF M ABOUT B = (3*2)+(7*9)+(10*15) =219 KG.cm.
219= 20x,
x = 219/20 = 10.95cm.

3*2 + 7*9 + 10*15 = 20X.
Then, X = 10.95.
Then, X = 10.95.

Moment about A = (10X15+7X9+3X2) = 219.
Total Load = 10+7+3 = 20.
Eccentricity = 219/20 = 10.95 cm.
Total Load = 10+7+3 = 20.
Eccentricity = 219/20 = 10.95 cm.

They have found the Resultant force acting distance from A. So, the rod will balance where resultant force acting only that point.

Distemper is used to coat interior walls and ceilings, and plastered surfaces, providing a budget-friendly, breathable, and matte finish suitable for non-exposed areas of homes. It is a water-based paint made from chalk and glue that adheres well to plaster but is not suitable for exterior use due to its lack of durability against weather.

At hinge point moment is zero. What is the reaction on that point?

That's not complex+> explanation/blanced point which the point have equlibrim eq sum of force equla 0 force * (x-dis) = zero.

The answer is 10.95 cm from A.
Explanation : The ratio of the moment about A to the total load.
Answer : 10.95cm.
Explanation : The ratio of the moment about A to the total load.
Answer : 10.95cm.
