Question
The beam is supported by a pin at point A and a frictionless pulley system at D. The cylinder with a weight of \( W_1 = 80 \, \text{lb} \) is attached at point C.

### Diagram Description:

The diagram shows a horizontal beam supported by a pin at point A and a pulley system at point D. Point C is at the right end of the beam, where the weight \( W_1 \) is attached. The pulley at D changes the direction of a cable connected to the beam at B and C.

- **Points and Distances:**
  - \( A \) is the pivot point (left side).
  - The beam connects to point B, D (pulley), and ends at C.
  - Distances from \( A \):
    - \( d_1 = 5.5 \, \text{ft} \)
    - \( d_2 = 5 \, \text{ft} \)
    - \( d_3 = 1.5 \, \text{ft} \)

### Tasks:
a. Determine the magnitude of the horizontal component of the reaction of pin A, \( A_x \).

b. Decide if the reaction \( A_x \) points to the right or left.

c. Determine the magnitude of the vertical component of the reaction of pin A, \( A_y \).

d. Decide if the reaction \( A_y \) points up or down.

e. Determine the magnitude of the tension in the cable, \( T_B \).

**Note:** Round your final answers to 3 significant digits/figures.
