A 2,00ON steel rod that is 5 meters long is placed in a corner between the floor and a wall, and balanced at an angle using a cord attached to the wall The rod is balanced such that its top end is 2.38 meters away from the wall, The cord is 40 cm long, and it is attached to the wall at a height of 75 cm above the floor. The diagram to the right shows the situation If the lower end of the rod does not slip from the corner, what is the tension in the cord?

In 1859, charles darwin published the first edition of on the origin of species, which explained his observations of various groups of animals that showed great similarities but minor differences. darwin concluded that if a population of one species separates into two different populations that live in separate locations, then over the course of many generations the different populations can develop into different species. this idea predicted many future biological findings and became the basis of modern biology. darwin’s explanation for why different species exist is best described as a(n) law. theory. inquiry. hypothesis.
