A Ukiform rod is attached to a wall by a hinge at its base. The rod has a mass of 8.5 kg, a length of 1.8 m, is at an angle of 21° above the horizontal, and is held in place by a horizontal cord attached to the other end of the rod and bolted to the wall above the base of the rod. (a) Determine the tension in the cord, (b) Determine the horizontal and vertical components of the force exerted on the rod by the hinge. FH-
