draw the free body diagram of a mass hanging from a crane. show a single point indicating where the meter stick, string from the scale and the hanging mass meet. Then show the three forces extending from that point that are from the hanging mass, the string tension and the tension in the meter stick.show a fourth force due to the weight of the meter stick. This force acts in addition to the hanging mass and will be attributed to half of the meter stick mass ("half" as it divides evenly between the two end points from which the meter stick is held). Resolving forces into xy components means writing equations that look like Fx=... and Fy=... ( not ΣFx=... and ΣFy=... ) and using trigonometry to resolve each force by using its angle shown on the free-body diagram.
