Transcribed Image Text:### Educational Content: Beam Mechanics
A uniform, 6.0 m long, 1150 kg beam is hinged to a wall and supported by a thin cable. This cable is attached 2.0 m from the free end of the beam. Refer to the diagram for a visual representation (Figure 1). The beam is positioned at an angle of 30.0° above the horizontal plane.
#### Diagram Explanation:
- The diagram illustrates a beam hinged at the left to a wall, shown as a vertical surface.
- The beam extends diagonally upward from the hinge.
- The beam forms a 30.0° angle with the horizontal dashed line.
- A thin cable is shown supporting the beam, making an angle of 40.0° with the horizontal.
- The cable is attached to the beam 2.0 m from its free end, indicated by an arrow.
This setup illustrates the concept of static equilibrium, where forces and torques are balanced.
