The mass of the rod F(x) is m = 2.79 kg, and the pivot point is located at the left end (at x = 0). In order to prevent the rod from rotating, a variable force given by F(x) = (46.9 N) (x/L)# is applied to the rod. At what point x on the rod (give answer as a fraction of L, relative to the left edge of the rod) should the force be applied in order to keep it from rotating? 0.856 Submit Answer Incorrect.
