As part of an engineering design, a load of mass M2=10 kg is to be suspended from the far end of a beam of mass M1=8kg. A horizontal cable supporting the beam attaches to the beam at a distance of d=2m from a joint/hinge. The length of the beam is L=7m. The beam makes an angle of 55 degrees with the horizontal.
