Exercise: Standing on a horizontal beam A uniform horizontal beam with a length of 8.00 m and a weight of 200 N is attached to a wall by a pin connection. Its far end is supported by a cable that makes an angle of 53.0 with the beam (Fig. 12.10a). If a 600-N person stands 2.00 m from the wall, find the tension in the cable as well as the magnitude and direction of the force exerted by the wall on the beam.
