**#10 Hanging Signs, Tension, and Torque**

A 50 kg sign for a local business is hung from a bar which meets a wall at right angles as shown in Figure 3. The bar is 1.5 meters long, and its mass may be neglected. The center of mass of the sign is 1.0 meters from the wall (but 0.50 meters from the tip of the cable) as indicated. A cable (we assume it to be massless) extends from the end of the rod to the wall. Assume the rod is attached to the wall with a joint which permits the rod to rotate freely. The angle between the cable and the bar is 30°. What is the tension in the cable? Use \( g = 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \).

**Figure 3**: Configuration of sign, rod, and cable

- The diagram shows a vertical wall with a horizontal bar extending 1.5 meters from it.
- A sign is attached beneath the bar at a point 1.0 meter from the wall.
- A cable extends from the end of the bar to the wall at a 30° angle with the bar.
- Distances indicated on the bar are 1.0 meter from the wall where the sign hangs and 0.5 meters from the end of the bar to the sign.

### Answer Choices:
- A. 220 N
- B. 360 N
- C. 460 N
- D. 650 N
