Question

2. Two metal rings are each attached to vertically hanging strings. A uniform rod (center of mass is at the center of the rod) is placed through the rings as shown in the diagram (drawn to scale). If $T_L$ and $T_R$ are the magnitudes of the tension forces in the left and right strings respectively, which of the following statements is correct. (Assume the strings are strong enough to hold the weight of the rod without breaking). a) None of the above answers are correct, the exact locations of the metal rings needs to be provided to make any statements about $T_L$ and $T_R$. b) $T_L$ is equal to $T_R$ c) $T_L$ is less than $T_R$ d) $T_L$ is greater than $T_R$
