The free body diagram of the bar is shown in the following figure.
Length of the bar is ,l=2m
be the tensions produced in the left and right strings respectively.
At translational equilibrium, we have,
For rotational equilibrium, on taking the torque about the centre of gravity, we have:
Using both equations, 
Hence, the centre of gravity of the given bar lies 0.72 m from its left end.
