A lightweight, rigid beam 10.0 m long is supported by a cable attached to a spring of force constant k

Question:

A lightweight, rigid beam 10.0 m long is supported by a cable attached to a spring of force constant k = 8.25 kN/m as shown in Figure P12.38. When no load is hung on the beam (Fg = 0), the length L is equal to 5.00 m.
(a) Find the angle θ in this situation.
(b) Now a load of Fg = 250 N is hung on the end of the beam. Temporarily ignore the extension of the spring and the change in the angle θ. Calculate the tension in the cable with this approximation.
(c) Use the answer to part (b) to calculate the spring elongation and a new value for the angle θ.
(d) With the value of from part (c), find a second approximation for the tension in the cable. (e) Use the answer to part (d) to calculate more precise values for the spring elongation and the angle θ.
(f) To three-digit precision, what is the actual value of θ under load?

I believe everyone should try to be strong at logic and have good reading habit. Because If you possess these two skills, no matter what difficult situation is, you will definitely find a perfect solution out of it. While logical ability gives you to understand complex problems and concepts quite easily, reading habit gives you an open mind and holistic approach to see much bigger picture. So guys, I always try to explain any concept keeping these two points in my mind. So that you will never forget any more importantly get bored. Last but not the least, I am finance enthusiast. Big fan of Warren buffet for long term focus investing approach. On the same side derivatives is the segment I possess expertise. If you have any finacne related doubt, do reach me out.
