Since , triangle is isosceles. Therefore
The rod is inclined at to the horizontal. Its weight acts at its midpoint, a distance from .
Let the tension be . Taking moments about ,
Hence

Let the force at have horizontal component to the left and vertical component upwards. Resolving horizontally and vertically,
Using the unrounded expression for ,
Since the magnitude of this force is ,
Substitution gives, to 2 significant figures,

Let the hinge-force components be to the left and upwards. Taking moments about , both the tension and have zero moment, so
Thus
Taking moments about ,
Consequently
Therefore
