Equating forces
N1+N2=W
Equating Torques about A
Wx=N2d
=>N2=Wx/d
So N1=W[1- (x/d)]
Normal reaction on A is W[1- (x/d)]
And on B is Wx/d
a rod of weight, w is supportd by two parallel knife edges A and B and is in equilibrium in a horizontal position. the knives are at a distance of d from each other. the centre of mass of the rod is at a distance x from A. the normal reaction on A is ........ ??
and on B is............ ?
now equate the torque about the center of mass and resolve the forces in the vertical direction to get ur answer

And on B is Wx/d
yeah exactly but the answer what BT depicts is
on A its w(d-x)
and on B its wx
guys !!
That means there is no ~/d term there.
Jus' check if w is density[7][7][333]
