Question 11
[10]
The 17 m long flagpole with a mass of 35 kg, as shown in Figure 5, has a non-uniform shape.
It is attached to a 10 m vertical pole on the wider side of the flagpole. The centre of mass of
the flagpole is a third of the length of the flagpole from the left side. A flag with a mass of
14 kg hangs vertical from the right end. A strong steel cable is attached at the centre of the
flagpole at an angle of 46° to the horizontal.
