The far end of the board is held up by a cable that can be released by remote control. You place a spooky spider on the board that is dropped on unsuspecting trick-or-treaters when you release the cable. The drawing below shows the set-up. cable 40° Hinge 60 ст You use a board that is 60 cm long and the cable makes an angle of 40 degrees with the board when the board is held horizontally. You place the spider a distance of r = 37 cm from the hinge. The board has a mass of 2.2 kg and the spider has a mass of 1.6 kg. The hinge applies both a horizontal force and a vertical force. You will be asked to determine the direction of both of these forces (left, right, up, down). What is the magnitude of the tension in the cable in Newtons?
