Physical Significance of Torque
If torque about O is non zero,there is rotational effect of Force and hence the body is rotating about O.
Maybe, maybe not. We can say that the angular momentum about that point is changing. ...

How to calculate tension in this case?
Your example is statically indeterminate, meaning one of the strings is redundant (i.e. not required for the bar to be in equilibrium).
This means the equations for static equilibrium alone are ...

How to calculate tension in this case?
If your three strings are non-parallel you should be able to solve for the forces independently. But if they are all vertical or there are many more, then then you have discovered a topic called &...
