Question Number 60247 by pete last updated on 19/May/19

A uniform pole PQ, 30 m long and of mass  4 kg is carried by a boy at P and a man   8 m away from Q. Find the distance from  P where a mass of 20 kg should be attached  so that the man′s support is twice that  of the boy, if the system is in equilibrium  [Take g=10ms^(−2) ]
