A 1000 N uniform beam at angle α = 60.0° with respect to horizontal is supported by a cable at angle β = 30.0° with respect to the horizontal. See figure. The beam is pivoted at the bottom and an object of weight w = 1500 N hangs from its top. Find: a) the tension in the support cable; b) the components of the reaction force exerted by the floor on the beam.

A 1000 N uniform beam at angle α = 60.0° with respect to horizontal is supported by a cable at angle β = 30.0° with respect to the horizontal. See figure. The beam is pivoted at the bottom and an object of weight w = 1500 N hangs from its top. Find: a) the tension in the support cable; b) the components of the reaction force exerted by the floor on the beam.  

5. A 1000 N uniform beam at angle a- 60.0° with respect to horizontal is supported by a
cable at angle B- 30.0° with respect to the horizontal. See figure. The beam is pivoted at
the bottom and an object of weight w - 1500 N hangs from its top. Find: a) the tension in
the support cable; b) the components of the reaction force exerted by the floor on the beam.
