Here is the picture associated with it. (The big rectangular thing is the rod, the line at the top of it is the string which is connected to a wall, and the line below it is the ground, which it is in contact with).
The uniform rod of mass m and length L is in equilibrium. Find the tension in the string.
It seems like there's not enough information to answer this, am I wrong?
Also, the answer is supposed to be 0.289 mg, which doesn't make sense if we're talking about tension, so I'm guessing the book is wrong.
