A metal bar \(70\) cm long and \(4.00\) kg in mass supported on two knife edges placed \(10\) cm from each end. A \(6.00\) kg load is suspended at \(30\) cm from one end as shown in the figure. The reactions \(R_1~\text{and}~R_2\) at the knife-edges are: (Assume the bar to be of uniform cross-section and homogeneous.)


1. \(43.12~\text{N}~\text{and}~54.88~\text{N}\)
2. \(54.88~\text{N}~\text{and}~4.312~\text{N}\)
3. \(54.88~\text{N}~\text{and}~43.12~\text{N}\)
4. \(43.12~\text{N}~\text{and}~5.488~\text{N}\)

A \(3~\text{m}\) long ladder weighing \(20~\text{kg}\) leans on a frictionless wall. Its feet rest on the floor \(1~\text{m}\) from the wall as shown in the figure. The reaction forces of the wall and the floor respectively are:

             

1. \(30.4~\text{N}\) and \(198~\text{N}\)
2. \(199~\text{N}\) and \(30~\text{N}\)
3. \(30~\text{N}\) and \(199~\text{N}\)
4. \(34.6~\text{N}\) and \(199~\text{N}\)
