The right end of a 3.0-meter metal beam is attached to a hinge on the ceiling, while the left end of the beam is supported by a cable attached to the wall as shown. The beam has a mass of 1.5 kg. A 2.0-kg metal sphere is hanging from a short cable which is attached to the beam at exactly 1.0 meter from the left end. Determine the reaction forces at the hinge and the tension force along the cable attached to the wall. 50° 65° 2.0 kg

The center of gravity is to the left side of the vaulter.
A uniform horizontal strut weighs 400.0 N. One end of the strut is attached to a hinged support the wall and the other end of the strut is attached to a sign that weighs 200.0 N The strut is also supported by a cable attached between the end of the strut and the wall. Assuming that the entire weight of the sign is attached at the very end of the s find the tension in the cable and the force at the hinge of the strut.
