The tension in the cable is 169.43 N and the vertical component of the force exerted by the hi.nge on the beam is 114.77 N.
<h3>Tension in the cable</h3>
Apply the principle of moment and calculate the tension in the cable;
Clockwise torque = TL sinθ
Anticlockwise torque = ¹/₂WL
TL sinθ = ¹/₂WL
T sinθ = ¹/₂W
T = (W)/(2 sinθ)
T = (29 x 9.8)/(2 x sin57)
T = 169.43 N
<h3>Vertical component of the force</h3>
T + F = W
F = W - T
F = (9.8 x 29) - 169.43
F = 114.77 N
Thus, the tension in the cable is 169.43 N and the vertical component of the force exerted by the hi.nge on the beam is 114.77 N.
