Hey there!
Was going through a couple of EK 1001 Physics questions and came across this question that I couldn't quite figure out so hopefully someone here could lend some much needed clarification.
Here's a picture of the diagram and the question prompt: View attachment 207351
My attempt at a solution:
a. Torque (CW) = Torque (CCW) --> 0.2mg = 0.2f where m = mass of the sign; I picked the rotation point to be at the attachment point of the rope to the sign which is 0.2m away...
