The horizontal beam in the figure below (Figure 1) weighs 170 N and its center of gravity is at its center.
Part A:
Make a free-body diagram of the beam. The beam attaches to the wall via a hinge at dot A. The middle of the beam is indicated by dot B. The cable attaches to the beam and the load are at dot C.
All force vectors should begin at the center of a black dot. The location and orientation of your vectors will be graded. Positive torque is considered to be in the counterclockwise direction.
Part B: Find the tension in the cable.
Express your answer in newtons.
Part C: Find the horizontal component of the force exerted on the beam at the wall.
Express your answer in newtons.
Part D: Find the vertical component of the force exerted on the beam at the wall.
Express your answer in newtons.
