Question
A 24.0 kg beam of length L = 35.1 m is attached at an angle of θ = 36.40 to the side of a building. If the beam is holding up a mass M = 64.4 kg and is supported by a horizontal wire that is attached at location X = 24.5 m (measured along the beam from the building to the wire attachment point), what is the force the building is putting on the beam? What is the Direction of force (measured as an angle off of the side of the building (think west of north)
