You open a restaurant and hope to entice customers by hanging out a sign (Figure 1). The uniform horizontal beam supporting the sign is 1.60 m long, has a mass of 20.0 kg, and is hinged to the wall. The sign itself is uniform with a mass of 31.0 kg and overall length of 1.20 m. The two wires supporting the sign are each 33.0 cm long, are 90.0 cm apart, and are equally spaced from the middle of the sign. The cable supporting the beam is 2.20 m long.
