A uniform rod of length 0.40 m is pivoted at one end. A 2.0 N weight acts downward at a point 0.30 m from the pivot. The rod is kept horizontal by an upward force from a spring attached 0.050 m from the pivot on the opposite side. Using the principle of moments, find the force exerted by the spring on the rod.
- 4.0 N
- 7.5 N
- 12 N
