A uniform rod of mass \(20~\text{kg}\) and length \(5\text{ m}\) leans against a smooth vertical wall making an angle of \(60^{\circ}\) with it. The other end rests on a rough horizontal floor. The friction force that the floor exerts on the rod is: (take \(g=10~\text{m/s}^2\) )
1. \(200 ~\text{N}\) 
2. \(200 \sqrt{3} ~\text{N}\)
3. \(100 ~\text{N}\)
4. \(100 \sqrt{3} ~\text{N}\)

A uniform rod of length \(200~ \text{cm}\) and mass \(500~ \text g\) is balanced on a wedge placed at \(40~ \text{cm}\) mark. A mass of \(2~\text{kg}\) is suspended from the rod at \(20~ \text{cm}\) and another unknown mass \(m\) is suspended from the rod at \(160~\text{cm}\) mark as shown in the figure. What would be the value of \(m\) such that the rod is in equilibrium?
(Take \(g=10~( \text {m/s}^2)\)

                    

1. \({\dfrac 1 6}~\text{kg}\) 2. \({\dfrac 1 {12}}~ \text{kg}\)
3. \({\dfrac 1 2}~ \text{kg}\) 4.  \({\dfrac 1 3}~ \text{kg}\)
