Question 16

A uniform rod AB AB\,AB of mass 10 kg and length 6 m rests in equilibrium with A A\,A on rough horizontal ground. The rod is resting on a smooth peg at CCC, where AC=4AC = 4AC=4 m. The angle between AB AB\,AB and the ground is θ\thetaθ, where tan⁡θ=0.4\tan \theta = 0.4tanθ=0.4

Rod AB rests with A on horizontal ground and is supported by a smooth peg at C, making an angle θ with the ground.

Given the rod is on the point of slipping.

Find the coefficient of friction between the rod and the ground.
