One end of a uniform 4.00-m-long rod of weight w (Fg) is supported by a cable. The other end rests against the wall, where it is held by friction. The coefficient of static friction between the wall and the rod = 0.500. Determine the minimum distance x from point A at which an additional weight w (the same as the weight of the rod) can be hung without causing the rod to slip at point A.
Not sure how to tackle this one. Seperated tension force and friction force into x and y components. Just unsure of what to do with torques.
