A beam with length of 2 m and a mass of 10 kg supports a 50 kg box. The beam is connected to a wall by a hinge at its base and a horizontal wire. The wire is connected to the beam 1.5 m from the hinge and makes an angle θ of 35o to the beam. The goal is to find the tension in the wire and the horizontal and vertical components of the force exerted by the hinge on the board. Suppose the maximum tension that the wire can withstand is 1500 N. What is the maximum load that the hinge can support before the wire breaks?
