The diagram above shows a 3.00 m long uniform beam. The left end of the beam is attached to a wall by a frictionless pivot. The beam is supported by a string that keeps the beam horizontal. The string makes an angle of 35.0° relative to vertical. The beam has a mass of 7.00 kg. A 2.00 kg mass is located at the end of the beam. A 6.00 kg mass is located 1.00 m from the 2.00 kg mass, as shown in the diagram. a. What is the tension in the string? b. What is the y-component of force applied to the beam by the pivot?
