Explanation:
For free body diagram see attached sheet .
W is weight of steel girder acting at the middle point of its length . T is tension in the cable .
OB = √ ( 12² - 2² )
= 11.83 m .
OC = 11.83 / 2 = 5.915 m
Taking moment of tension T and weight W about point O
W x OC = T x OB
22 x 5.915 = T x 11.83
T = 22 x 5.915 / 11.83
= 11 kN
Considering forces acting in vertical direction and equating forces in opposite direction
T + R = W
R = W - T
= 22 - 11 = 11 KN
So force of grinder on the ground = R
= 11 KN.
