Question

A beam that has a mass of 75kg extends from a building making a 48° angle with it.  A wire is supporting the beam, it is attached to it 3/5 of the way along the beam.  The wire is perindicular to the wall.  There is also a sign hanging from the end of the beam with a mass of 14kg.  The beams center of mass is 1/4 of the way from the wall to the end of the beam.  What are the x and y components of the force that the wall exerts on the beam? create a extended free body diagram.  Also label the point on the beam you will use as reference to measure distance.
