Help I don’t get how they got 0.04 on the ms…
How do we know where/ how far mg is placed
Also if it’s uniform it’s in the middle, but we don’t know the length of the shelf (we just know rod)IMG_2777.jpegIMG_2778.jpeg

The distance of the rod COM is 4 cm from the end of the shelf (uniform rod) so 0.04 m

0.04 is the distance of the centre of mass of the rod from the pivot. That is where the force of the weight of the rod will be applied.
