A uniform bar 3.00 m long is held by ropes at the ends making angle 60.0 degrees and 30.0 degrees, respectively, with the horizontal. A weight of 200 N is hung 0.500 m from the left end where the 60.0 degrees rope is attached. Find the tension in the ropes (T1 & T2) and the weight (W) of the bar. (Hint: Formulate three equations for the three unknowns, 2 equations for the 1st condition and 1 equation for the 2nd condition.)
