- It's exciting watching the construction and renovation happening in Uptown Columbus! On one construction site, you notice that a uniform beam of length 13.6 m and mass 47.9 kg is attached to a wall by a cable. The angle between the cable and the beam is 59.5°. The beam is free to pivot about the point where it attaches to the wall. What is the tension in the cable, if the beam is not moving?
