2. The figure to the right shows a block of mass M = 25.0 kg that is attached via a massless rope to one end of a rod with a weight of w = 309 N and length L= 4.00 m. The other end of the rod can rotate around a hinge fixed to a wall. A massless cable attached to another wall holds the rod in static equilibrium. a) Calculate the tension in the rope (Tr) then show that the tension in the cable is Tc = 346 N. b) Find the horizontal and vertical components of the force from the hinge on the rod. Deduce the direction of that force. c) Assume that the cable snaps if it is subjected to a tension of more than 500 N. What is the maximum mass M that can be suspended from the rope conc2
