288.51 N is the magnitude of the force that the beam exerts on the hi.nge.
Given
Mass 0f beam = 40 Kg
The horizontal component of the force exerted by the hi_nge on the beam is 86.62 N
Angle between the beam and cable is = 90°
Angle between beam and the horizontal component = 31°
As the system of the beam, hi_nge and cable are in equilibrium.
The magnitude of the force that the beam exerts on the hi_nge can be calculated by -
F =The horizontal component of force + the vertical component of force
F = 86.62 N + 40 × 9.8 × sin 31°
F =86.62 N + 201.89 N
F = 288.51 N
Hence, the magnitude of the force that the beam exerts on the hi_nge is 288.51 N.
