A 4.0 m long red beam weighs 1500N and is connected to a wall by a frictionless hinge and it is supported by two cables as shown in the image. The tension in the cables are both equal in magnitude to the weight of the beam and they are both connected to the free end of the beam by distance x. What is x if the beam is in equilibrium?
