A 400.0-N sign hangs from the end of a uniform strut. The strut is 4.0 m long and weighs a 600.0N. The strut is supported by a hinge at the wall and by a cable whose other end it tied to the wall at a point 3.0 m above the left end of the strut. Find the tension in the supporting cable and the force of the hinge of tge strut.
