A beam has a length & and a uniformly distributed mass of 23 kg. The beam extends horizontally from a wall. There are two cables attached to the beam: cable 1 is attached to the beam 2/3 of the way from the wall to the end of the beam, and pulls up at a 30° angle to the beam. Cable 2 is attached 1/3 of the way from the wall to the end, and pulls down at a 60° angle to the beam. The tension in cable 1 is 400N. Determine the tension in cable 2. Include an extended free body diagram showing all the forces acting on the beam. Clearly indicate the point you are using as the axis of rotation for torque calculations.
