(a) A student stands a distance d = 0.375 m from the left end of a beam as shown in the figure. The beam is supported by three cables. Find the tension in each cable (in N). Assume the beam is uniform, with lengthL = 2.00 m and mass 33.0 kg, and the weight of the student is 710 N. (Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations-including answers submitted in WebAssign.)
