The system in the figure is in equilibrium. A mass of 320 kg hangs from the end of the uniform strut whose mass is 45 kg. The strut makes an angle of 45 with the ground and the cable makes an angle of 30 with the ground. Find the tension T in the cable. 3136 N Compute torque about bottom to get T, torque about top to get (Fv-Fh) and horizontal forces for Fh = T cos(angle). Submit Answer Incorrect.
