4. An object is to be hung from the end of a rigid horizontal pole of negligible weight. The pole is attached to a wall by a pivot and is supported by a cable attached to the wall at a higher point. Cable Length of cable Length of Pole d-distance Weight The tension on the cable is given by: T = WLLp where T is the tension in the cable, W is d the weight of the object, Lp is the length of the pole and L. is the length of the cable and d is the distance along the pole where the cable is attached. Write a MATLAB program that asks the user to input the weight and the lengths of the cable and pole then finds the minimum tension based on distances between 0.3 and 1.8 meters (increment of 0.15 meters). You may need to use a loop to determine the minimum. (16 pts)
