Homework Statement
A uniform thin rod of weight 100 N is supported horizontally by two bricks at its
ends. At t=0 one of these bricks is kicked out quickly. Calculate the force on the
other support immediately thereafter.
Homework Equations
I'm not sure if I am on the right track with this equation since I don't have the length and from what I know, I need the length for torque problems: Mg(L/2)sin(theta)
The Attempt at a Solution
I thought since each brick has a force of 50N that if one brick is locked the force on the supporting brick is -50N since it's a downward force. Please help me with the equation and how to go about it. Thanks
