The idealized schematic below could be thought of as an umbrella stand or a fishing rod holder. In the schematic, a narrow dowel is placed in a receptacle. The dowel is subject to a downward load FL at the outer end. FL= 50 N. We may neglect the force due to gravity acting on the dowel. The angle α = 28 degrees. The dowel is 1 meter long, and the distance d is 40 cm. The dowel is not moving. The force acting at point A is normal to the axis of the dowel (friction is negligible there). What is the net force acting at the end of the dowel from the multiple contact points near B?
