Explain the need for tall towers on a suspension bridge to ensure stable equilibrium.
A rope helps to support a uniform 800-N beam 7 m long the lower end of which is hinged at the wall while the other end supports a 1-ton load. Determine tension T in the rope and the horizontal and vertical reactions at the hinge.
Hint: Draw FBD of the forces involved and apply the two conditions of equilibrium.
