A horizontal bar of length l and negligible mass is supported at its two ends. A mass M is hung from the bar at a distance ‘a’ from the left end, as shown. What is the magnitude of the force that the support on the right applies to the bar?
  
  1. \(\operatorname{Mg} \frac{a}{\ell}\)
  2. \(\operatorname{Mg} \frac{\ell}{a}\)
  3. \(M g \frac{a}{\ell+a}\)
  4. \(M g \frac{\ell}{\ell+a}\)

Answer

(A) Mg a
