Please help! Any one good with force balances and could help me with this? A nonuniform beam 4.41m long and weighing 1.09kN makes an angle of 25 ∘ below the horizontal. It is held in position by a frictionless pivot at its upper-right end and by a cable a distance of 3.04m farther down the beam and perpendicular to it (see Figure 11.31 in the textbook). The center of gravity of the beam is a distance of 2.01m down the beam from the pivot. Lighting equipment exerts a downward force of 5.08kN on the lower-left end of the beam. 1)Find the tension T in the cable. 2)Find the vertical component of the force exerted on the beam by the pivot. 3)Find the horizontal component of the force exerted on the beam by the pivot.
