Question

a) Find the tension in the cable holding up the boom. (units N)

b) Find the horizontal component of the reaction force on the boom by the floor.

c) Find the vertical components of the reaction force on the boom by the floor.

A 1010 N uniform boom is supported by a
cable as shown. The boom is pivoted at the
bottom, and a 2930 N object hangs from its
end.
The boom has a length of 26 m and is at an
angle of 52° above the horizontal. A support
cable is attached to the boom at a distance
of 0.62 L from the foot of the boom and its
tension is perpendicular to the boom.
