Question
A 4-m long, 150-kg steel beam is attached to a wall with one end connected to a hinge that allows the beam to rotate up and down. The other end of the beam is held in a horizontal position with a cable that makes a 27° angle with the beam and is attached to the wall (see (Figure 1)).
a.What is the tension force that keeps this beam in static equilibrium?
b. A mass of 75 kg is hung from the beam 3 meters away from the hinge (see (Figure 2)). Now what is the tension force that keeps this beam in static equilibrium?
c.What is the vertical component of the force that the hinge exerts on the beam?
