An 80.0 kg constructor worker sits down 2.00 m from the end of a 1460 kg horizontal steel beam to eat his lunch, as shown in the figure. The 8.00 m long beam is supported by a cable attached at P to the wall, and is hinged at H in the wall. ?= 40 degrees. (a) Find the force of tension, FT, in the cable, and (b) find the force by the hinge, FH, supporting the beam.
