You want to suspend a 2.8 kg 0.8 m long rod in place so that when your brother enters the room it will come swinging down and smash him in the face and you can laugh at him. A horizontal support wire is attached to the rod as shown in the diagram below. The vertical distance d measured along the length of the wall is 0.38 m. and the rod is raised 28° above the horizontal and attached to a wall by a hinge at its base as shown. (a) Find the tension in the support wire. N. (b) Find the horizontal and vertical components of the force exerted on the rod by the hinge. N (horizontal) N (vertical)
