A 6.00 m uniform beam of mass 17.0 kg is hinged to a vertical wall. The beam is kept in a stationary horizontal position by an 8.00 m cable. One end of the cable is attached to the other end of the beam while the other end of the cable connects to the vertical wall 4.00 m above the hinge. When a 10.0 kg crate is placed on the beam 5.00 m from the vertical wall the system is in equilibrium.

Question
  1. A 6.00 m uniform beam of mass 17.0 kg is hinged to a vertical wall. The beam is kept in a stationary horizontal position by an 8.00 m cable. One end of the cable is attached to the other end of the beam while the other end of the cable connects to the vertical wall 4.00 m above the hinge. When a 10.0 kg crate is placed on the beam 5.00 m from the vertical wall the system is in equilibrium.

Compute the magnitude of the horizontal and vertical components of the reaction force on the beam from the wall
