A 6.00 m uniform beam of mass 17.0 kg is hinged to a vertical wall. The beam is kept in a stationary horizontal position by an 8.00 m cable. One end of the cable is attached to the other end of the beam while the other end of the cable connects to the vertical wall 4.00 m above the hinge. When a 10.0 kg crate is placed on the beam 5.00 m from the vertical wall the system is in equilibrium. (a) Draw a free-body diagram showing the forces present.  (b) What is the tension in the cable?  (c) Compute the magnitude of the horizontal and vertical components of the reaction force on the beam from the wall.
