A uniform horizontal beam with a length of 12.00 m and a weight of 400N is attached to a wall by a pin connection. Its far end is supported by a cable that makes an angle of 60.0° with the horizontal. If a 800-N person stands 4.00 m from the wall, find the tension in the cable, as well as the magnitude and direction of the force exerted by the wall on the beam
