A uniform metal rod, with a mass of 2.0 kg and a length of 1.5 m, is attached to a wall by a hinge at its base. A horizontal wire bolted to the wall 0.70 m above the base of the rod holds the rod at an angle of 28° above the horizontal. The wire is attached to the top of the rod. (a) Find the tension in the wire. Find (b) the horizontal and (c) the vertical components of the force exerted on the rod by the hinge.
