The diagram shows a uniform wooden rod of length \(1.20\ \text{m}\) and mass \(0.50\ \text{kg}\) pivoted at a point \(0.40\ \text{m}\) from its left end. A small mass of \(0.20\ \text{kg}\) is suspended from the right end of the rod. A spring scale is attached to the left end of the rod and supports it vertically. Assuming the system is in static equilibrium and taking \(g = 9.8\ \text{m s}^{-2}\), calculate the reading of the spring scale in newtons. Give your answer to two significant figures.
