A uniform horizontal beam with a length of 8.5 m and a weight of 198.3 N is attached to a wall by a pin connection. Its far end is supported by a cable that makes an angle of 53.0° with the horizontal. If a 624.5 N person stands 2.2 m from the wall, find the normal force (in N) that the wall exerts on the beam.
