A beam of length 5.0 m is hung from the ceiling with two strings. The mass of the beam is small enough that you can neglect it. The beam has two masses attached, as shown in the Fri figure. The system is in equilibrium such that Fnet = 0 and Tnet = 0. A. Draw an extended free-body diagram of the beam by itself. 2 kg 5m 1m 3 kg Frz B. Use the torque equation for static equilibrium to solve for the magnitude of the tension force FTI Hint: choose the pivot at the right end of the beam. With that choice of the pivot, the torque from Fr2 would be zero. C. Use the force equation for static equilibrium with your answer above to solve for the magnitude of the tension force | Fr2|- A beam of length 5.0 m is hung from the ceiling with two strings.
