A horizontal pole of weight wp= 230 N and length L=5.00 m is hinged to a vertical wall on its left end. The pole is supported by a wire that connects the right end to a point on the wall directly above the left end of the pole as shown in the figure. A physics student of weight ws = 620N hangs from the right end (not shown). The wire will break if the tension exceeds 1140 N. a) Draw a Free-Body diagram for the pole. b) What is the minimum height above the hinge (h) that the wire must be attached to the wall to avoid breaking the wire? (m) c) What is the magnitude of the horizontal force that the hinge exerts on the pole? (N)
ASAP PLEASE, show all work and do all steps (a through c)
