A non-uniform rod AB AB\,AB has length 5 m and mass 12 kg. The rod is held horizontally by two vertical light inextensible strings attached at A A\,A and CCC, where AC=4AC = 4AC=4 m. The tension in the string at A A\,A is twice the tension in the string at CCC.
Find the tension in the string at C C\,C in terms of ggg.
Find the distance of the centre of mass of the rod from AAA.
