A rigid, vertical rod of negligible mass is connected to the floor by a bolt through its lower end, as shown in FIGURE 11-45. The rod also has a wire connected between its top end and the floor. If a horizontal force F is applied at the midpoint of the rod, find

(a) The tension in the wire,

(b) The horizontal

(c) The vertical components of force exerted by the bolt on the rod.
