**Physics Problem: Calculating Tension in a Cable****Problem Statement:**An 80-kg construction worker sits down 2.0 m from the end of a 1450-kg steel beam to eat his lunch. Draw a free-body diagram and use it to calculate the tension, \( T \), in the cable supporting the beam. If the cable is rated at 15,000 N, should the construction worker be worried?**Bonus:** Where should the construction worker sit on the beam so that the tension is exactly 15,000 N?**Diagram Explanation:**The diagram on the right illustrates the scenario described in the problem. A steel beam, represented by a horizontal line, is supported by a cable at an angle of 30°. The beam is 6.0 m long. The construction worker is sitting on the beam, 2.0 m from the end, as indicated by a figure.**Key Components:**- **Beam:** The horizontal structural element weighing 1450 kg.- **Worker:** Applied weight due to an 80-kg mass.- **Cable:** Supports the beam, positioned at a \(30^\circ\) angle to the horizontal.- **Beam Length:** 6.0 m total.- **Distance:** The worker is sitting 2.0 m from the beam's end.The task involves performing calculations based on these parameters to ascertain the tension \( T \) in the supporting cable and evaluate the safety of the setup based on the cable's strength rating.
