Chapter 12, Problem 65P

In Fig. 12-73, a uniform beam with a weight of 60 N and a length of 3.2 m is hinged at its lower end, and a horizontal force $\stackrel{\to }{F}$ of magnitude 50 N acts at its upper end. The beam is held vertical by a cable that makes angle θ = 25° with the ground and is attached to the beam at height h = 2.0 m. What are (a) the tension in the cable and (b) the force on the beam from the hinge in unit-vector notation?
