Question
Can someone please help me to answer the following question and draw all free body diagrams and equivalent load diagrams.
**Problem Statement:**

2. For the structure shown below, calculate the force in the cable and the reactions at pin \( A \).

**Diagram Explanation:**

- The diagram is a structural representation comprised of an L-shaped beam.
- The horizontal segment of the beam is 25 feet long, from point \( A \) to the vertical section and an additional 9 feet continues past this section, making the total 34 feet.
- A vertical load of 300 kips is applied downward at the end of the horizontal segment.
- A vertical segment rises 15 feet above the horizontal member, on top of which a cable is attached.
- The cable is inclined, forming a right triangle with horizontal and vertical components in the ratio 2:5.
- The point \( A \) is the pin connection at the leftmost end of the beam, which is fixed to a wall.
  
The task is to determine the force in the cable and the reactions at pin \( A \), which essentially requires resolving the beam's equilibrium in horizontal and vertical directions as well as its moment about point \( A \).
