Question: [ 2 . ] ( 2 5 pts ) You open a restaurant and hope to entice customers by hanging out a sign as shown

[2.](25 pts) You open a restaurant and hope to entice customers by hanging out a sign as shown in the figure below.
The uniform horizontal beam supporting the sign has a length of L=1.50m, has a weight of 157 N , and is hinged to the wall.
The cable makes an angle of =41.4 with the beam, as shown.
The sign itself is uniform with a weight of 274 N .
The two wires supporting the sign are d=0.900m apart, and are equally spaced from the middle of the sign.
(a) Find the tension T in the cable.
(b) Find the reaction force (magnitude and direction) exerted on the left end of the beam by the hinge.
Hint: The weight of the sign (call it Ws) acts at the CG of the sign. Call the lever arm for the sign x.
You know L and d, so you can easily calculate the lever arm for Ws..
