5. A 20-m long boom AB is supported as shown. The boom is anchored to the wall at point A. A 2000-N weight is suspended at the end of the boom. To provide additional support, a horizontal cable is provided at point C, 15-m away B from point A. Neglect the weight of the boom: a) What is the torque created by the weight applied to C point A? Clearly provide your force components and the position vector. b) What is the torque created by the cable tension T applied to point A? Clearly provide your force components and the position vector. 50 c) To maintain equilibrium, the 2 torques are equal; in other words, the effective torque at A is zero. A Determine the cable tension T
