Consider the flagpole in Figure P8.29. If the flagpole has a mass of 20 kg and length

Question:

Consider the flagpole in Figure P8.29. If the flagpole has a mass of 20 kg and length 10 m and the angle the cable makes with the pole is ?? = 25°, what are the magnitude and direction of the force exerted by the hinge (at point P) on the flagpole? Assume the mass of the pole is distributed uniformly.
