A uniform pole of 2.5m length and 4.0kg mass is suspended horizontally from the side of a building where it is affixed with a hinge. It is held in place by a wire that extends from the unattached end of the pole at an angle of 53 degrees and attached firmly to the wall. A 10.0kg mass is hanging from the end of the pole as well under the influence of gravity. a. Draw a picture of the situation. b. Draw a comprehensive free body diagram showing the force on the wire, the mass, the pole, and both the horizontal and vertical forces on the hinge. c. Use the hinge as the axis of rotation and balance the vertical torques and determine the tension in the wire. d. Use inertial dynamics to find the horizontal and vertical forces on the hinge.
