What can you say about F 1 and F 2 ? (a)F 1 and F 2 are both up as shown. (b)F 1 is up but F 2 is down. (c)F 1 is down but F 2 is up. L/3 L Mg mg

10/17/2012PHY 113 A Fall Lecture 2017 iclicker question: The fact that we found F 1 <0 means: A.We set up the problem incorrectly B.The analysis is correct, but the direction of F 1 is opposite to the arrow C.Physics makes no sense iclicker question: What would happen if we analyzed this problem by placing the pivot point at F 1 ?: A.The answer would be the same. B.The answer would be different. C.Physics makes no sense
