Because the bar is uniform the weight is in the center at 2.5 meters.

weight of the bar=9.81m/s2* 50kg= 490.5 newtons.

weight of the body = 130*9.81= 1275.3N.

let's name the supports Ra, Rb

taking the moment around Ra;

sigma Ma=0(anticlockwse)

-490.5N(2.5m)+Rb (5m)=0

Rb =(490.5*2.5)/5=245.25N

sigma F (upwadrs)=0

Ra + Rb =490.5________ Ra=490.5-245.25=245.25N

Now adding the 130kg (1275.3N) mass.

again taking the moment around Ra while the body is at distance x from Ra.

sigma Ma=0 (counterclockwise)

-1275.3(2.5-x)-490.5(2.5)+245.25(5)=0

-3188.25+1275.3x-1226.25+1226.25=0

1275.3x=3188.25

x=3188.25/1275.3

x=2.5m

this means that the body must hang at Ra.

How much harizontal and vertical line clearance is required in 33kv and 11kvphase to phase and phase to ground?

The minimum separation for a voltage of 34.5kV and conductor spans of 50 meters or less is 600 mm. The vertical clearance is 6.7 meters . For countries that never changed to the metric system 50 meters is about 150 feet and 600 mm is about 24 inches, 6.7 meters is about 22 feet. The minimum separation for a voltage of 15 kV and conductor spans of 50 meters or less is 400 mm. The vertical clearance is 6.1 meters.

At what angular velocity would the earth have to rotate about its axis for a body at the equator to feel no weight?

You can calculate it yourself, with the formula for acceleration in uniform circular motion. The centripetal acceleration, with circular motion, is v2 / r (velocity squared divided by the radius). Since the Earth's gravitation is about 9.8 meters per second square, solve the equation v2 / r = 9.8, for variable v. r (radius, of the Earth) should be converted to meters. The velocity will be in meters per second.Note that this exercise assumes the Earth is rigid. In practice, if Earth really rotated that fast, it would flatten out a lot, and in fact be torn apart.You can calculate it yourself, with the formula for acceleration in uniform circular motion.

8000 meters x 20 meters equals how many cubic meters?

meters times meters will give you square meters, not cubic meters. You can't convert from square meters to cubic meters.
