State the Problem
End A of a slender, uniform rod of weight w and length L bears on a horizontal surface ash shown, while end B is supported by a cord BC of length L. Knowing that the coefficient of static friction is 0.40, determine (a) the value of theta for which motion is impending, (b) the corresponding value of the tension in the cord.

I put these into the computer but it couldn't give me an answer; does this look set up okay to you?
