### Chapter 12, Problem 021

The system in the figure is in equilibrium. A concrete block of mass 217 kg hangs from the end of the uniform strut of mass 64.9 kg. For angles φ = 37.2° and θ = 60.9°, find (a) the tension \( T \) in the cable and the (b) horizontal and (c) vertical components of the force on the strut from the hinge.

#### Diagram Explanation
- The diagram provided illustrates a strut hinged at one end and kept in equilibrium by a cable.
- The strut, which has a mass of 64.9 kg, is inclined at an angle θ = 60.9° from the horizontal.
- The cable, which supports the strut, forms an angle φ = 37.2° relative to the vertical.
- A concrete block with a mass of 217 kg is suspended from the free end of the strut.
- The forces acting on the system include the tension \( T \) in the cable and the reaction forces at the hinge.

### Questions
(a) **Tension \( T \) in the Cable:**
- Number: [Input Field] Units: [Dropdown Menu]

(b) **Horizontal Component of the Force on the Strut from the Hinge:**
