A uniform horizontal strut weighs 420.0 N . One end of the strut is attached to a hinged support at the wall, and the other end of the strut is attached to a sign that weighs 210.0 N . The strut is also supported by a cable attached between the end of the strut and the wall. Assume that the entire weight of the sign is attached at the very end of the strut.
Find the tension in the cable (in N ).
\[
\mathrm{N}
\]
Find the force (in N ) at the hinge of the strut. (Give the direction in degrees counterclockwise from the \(+x \)-axis. Assume that the \(+x \)-axis is to the right.)
magnitude N
direction \({}^{\circ}\) counterclockwise from the \(+x \)-axis
A uniform horizontal strut weighs 4 2 0 . 0 N .
