case A rod of mass M 10 kg is hinged at its midpoint on top of a pedestal of height h 50 cm and mass m 250 g The ends of the rod are connected to a ceiling with the help of two springs of equal relaxed length lo 40 em and unequal force constants k 25 N m and k 15 N m In equilibrium the rod stays at an unknown angle from the horizontal and the springs are vertical as shown in the figure If height of the ceiling above the floor is H 1 5 m find the force of normal reaction between the pedestal and the floor
