(Solved): The uniform boom shown below weighs 700N, and the object hanging from its right end weighs 400N ...
The uniform boom shown below weighs 700N, and the object hanging from its right end weighs 400N. The boom is supported by a light cable (we take it as massless) and by a hinge at the wall. The force from the hinge on the boom is not acting in the direction of the boom (it's not at 20? ). Calculate the tension in the cable, and the magnitude and direction of the force from the hinge on the boom. [Hint: Choose the pivot point to be at the hinge to avoid too much trigonometry.] Show all your work and include diagrams!
