The uniform power pole of mass m and length L is hoisted into a vertical position with its lower end supported by a fixed pivot at O. The guy wires supporting the pole are accidentally released, and the pole falls to the ground. Plot the x- and y-components of the force exerted on the pole at O in terms of θ from 0 to 90°. Can you explain why Oy increases again after going to zero?
