The figure shows a horizontal beam of mass M = 54.5 kg and length L = 6.3 m supported at its left end by a frictionless pin and at the other end by an ideal cable attached to wall h = 6 m above the beam. A mass m = 28.9 kg is suspended from the beam a distance d = 3.7 m from the wall. Find the tension in the cable. h T = m M -L- N
