### Problem Description

A 460-N uniform rectangular sign, measuring 4.00 m in width and 3.00 m in height, is suspended from a horizontal, 6.00-m-long, uniform, 140-N rod. The setup is depicted in the accompanying illustration. The left end of the rod is supported by a hinge, and the right end is supported by a thin cable making a 30.0° angle with the vertical. The cable is attached to the very end of the 6.00-m-long rod, and there is a 2.00 m separation between the wall and the sign.

### Diagram Explanation

The diagram illustrates:
- A vertical wall from which a horizontal rod extends.
- The rod is 6.00 m in length, with a hinge at the wall and a cable attached to the opposite end.
- An "ICE CREAM SHOP" sign hangs below the rod.
- The cable forms a 30.0° angle with the vertical.
- The system shows forces acting on the rod: tension in the cable (\( T \)) and gravitational forces on the rod and sign.

### Tasks

**(a) Find the (magnitude of the) tension \( T \) in the cable.**

- Solution box provided for input: \( \,\,\,\,\,\) N

**(b) Find the horizontal and vertical components of the force exerted on the left end of the rod by the hinge.** 
- Positive directions: upward and rightward

- Horizontal component: \( \,\,\,\,\,\) N
- Vertical component: \( \,\,\,\,\,\) N
