A restaurant owner attaches a sign to the side of his building as shown in the image. A beam is bolted to the building to support the cable, and the cable is anchored to the end of the beam and tensioned such that it bears the full weight of the sign. The beam is exactly horizontal with respect to the earth, the upper portion of cable makes a 35.1° angle with the beam, and the mass of the sign is 14.2 kg. Determine the magnitude of the force exerted on the beam. Report your answer in Newtons.

A uniform horizontal strut weighs 400.0 N. One end of the strut is attached to a hinged support the wall and the other end of the strut is attached to a sign that weighs 200.0 N The strut is also supported by a cable attached between the end of the strut and the wall. Assuming that the entire weight of the sign is attached at the very end of the s find the tension in the cable and the force at the hinge of the strut.
A sculptor has hung up a 45.0 kg horizontal rod of length 4.85 m . One end of the rod is supported by a pivot, and the other end is held up by a wire. The wire makse a 30.0 ∘ angle with the rod. If tension greater than 1450 N would snap the wire, what is the maximum distance from the pivot that a 68.0 kg person can sit on the rod? r=________m
A long, uniform 2 kg rod of length 1.8 m is supported at the left end by a horizontal axis into the page and perpendicular to the rod, as shown.

A uniform drawbridge must be held at a 37° angle abovethe horizontal to allow ships to pass underneath. The drawbridge weighs45,000 N and is 14.0 m long. A cable is connected 3.5 m from thehinge where the bridge pivots (measured along the bridge) and pullshorizontally on the bridge to hold it in place. What is the tension in the cable?
A 1350N window washers platform, 3.5 m long is suspended by two vertical wires at its ends. A 600N person is standing 2.0m form the right end. What are the tensions on both sides in two wires?
A uniform 37.0 kg scaffold of length 6.2 m is supported by two light cables, as shown below. An 82.0 kg painter stands 1.0 m from the left end of the scaffold, and his painting equipment is 1.6 mfrom the right end. If the tension in the left cable is twice that in the right cable, find the tensions in the cables (in N) and the mass of the equipment (in kg). (Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations).
