• A mass M = 239.0 kg hangs from the end of a uniform strut which is held at an angle θ = 43.0 with respect to the horizontal. The cable supporting the strut is at angle alpha = 31.8 with respect to the horizontal. The strut has a mass of 41.2 kg. 
• 
  
• a.  Find the magnitude of the tension T in the cable.
• 
  
• b. Find the magnitude of the horizontal component of the force exerted on the strut by the hinge? 
• 
  
• c. Find the magnitude of the vertical component of the force exerted on the strut by the hinge?
