- 1. The figure shows a horizontal steel beam with mass M = 500 kg and length L = 2.0 m held against a vertical wall by a taut cable with 0 = 60°. A ball with mass m = 200 kg is attached via a short cable at a distance x 1.5 m from the wall. = a. Draw an extended force diagram for the steel beam, drawing the direction of the forces and the location of the forces acting on the beam. Ꮎ X m b. Using the contact point between the wall and the beam as your pivot point for torque calculations, balance the torques created by all the forces acting on the beam to determine the magnitude of the tension force that the cable exerts on the beam.
