A new art exhibit featuring mobile works is going up in the Holland, MI, area. One piece is shown in the figure. The 155-N uniform beam is pinned to the ground by a pivot. The beam is supported by a cable (attached to the center of the beam) to allow for each of the shoes to hang freely. Each individual shoe has a weight of 9.5-N. If one shoe is attached two-fifths of the way up the beam and another shoe is attached and three-fifths of the way up the beam, with θc = 16.5° and θb = 33.6° as shown in the figure, what is the tension in the cable, in newtons? What is the x-component of the force, in newtons, that the pivot exerts on the bottom of the beam? Use the coordinate system specified in the figure. What is the y-component of the force, in newtons, that the hinge exerts on the bottom of the beam? Use the coordinate system specified in the figure.
