A uniform rod of mass kg and length is suspend by two smooth hinges 1 and 2 as shown in Fig. A force N is applied downward at a distance from hinge 2. Due to the application of force hinge 2 breaks. At this instant, applied force is also removed. The rod starts to ratate downward about hinge 1. )
The reaction at hinge 1, before hinge 2 breaks, is |

As the rod is in equilibrium,
Taking torque about hinge 2, we get
