Figure shows a uniform rod of and length 8 m supported horizontally by a string of length 10 m and breaking tension 52N. A ball of mass 1 kg starts rolling at t = 0 from end A with constant speed of 50 cm/s towards end B. Find the time when the string breaks.

Options:
Answer:
A
Solution:
Resolve the breaking tension using the 6-8-10 geometry.
Apply moment equilibrium about hinge A including rod weight and the moving ball.
The ball reaches the breaking position at x=3.96 m.
At 0.50 m/s, t=x/v=7.92 s.
