The left end of the beam is attached to a frictionless hinge on the vertical post that allows the beam to rotate up and down freely. The right end of the beam is supported by a wire that runs to the top of the post. The wire makes a 50° angle with the vertical post. The beam's shape is symmetric and it is made of a homogeneous material so that its center of mass is located at its geometric center. What tension in the wire is required to support the beam horizontally?arrow_forward
