A beam rests on a fulcrum, 2.3 meters from one end. A weight of 444 kg is suspended from this end causing the beam to balance. If the weight of 444 is suspended on the opposite end of the beam, it is necessary to suspend a 2733 kg weight on the first end in order to effect an even balance. Use g = 9.81 m/s2. Find the length of the beam.

As shown below, a beam of length L is in equilibrium and is attached to a cable which is pulling it against a frictionless wall. The beam is not attached to the wall and the wall is only exerting a normal force on the beam. Additionally, there is a 792 N box hanging on a wire from the end of the beam. Determine the cable tension & the beam weight. 0.86 L 45° 792 N tension= beam weight=
