Question 1

A uniform shop sign is 2.4 m long and is held horizontally by a hinge on a wall at one end. The sign weighs 90 N, with its weight acting 1.2 m from the hinge. A vertical chain at the other end pulls upwards on the sign with a force of 120 N. A lantern weighing 180 N is to be hung from the sign. At what distance from the hinge must the lantern be hung so that the sign is in rotational equilibrium?
