Question: 3 . A block of mass ( mathbf { M } ) hangs from a uniform, rigid rod of mass (

3. A block of mass \(\mathbf{M}\) hangs from a uniform, rigid rod of mass \(\mathbf{m}\) and length \(\mathbf{L}\) as shown on the diagram. The other end of the rod is attached to the wall through a frictionless hinge. The rod is also supported by a massless, inelastic metal cable, connected to the rod at a distance \(\mathbf{d}\) away from the hinge.
Given variables: \(\mathbf{M},\mathbf{m},\mathbf{L},\mathbf{d},\boldsymbol{\theta},\boldsymbol{\varphi}\)
a) Draw a free-body diagram for the beam. (4 points)
b) Find the tension on the metal cable. (4 points)
c) Find the horizontal and vertical components of the force at the hinge. (6 points)
3 . A block of mass \ ( \ mathbf { M } \ ) hangs
