The system in the Figure is in equilibrium. A mass M1 = 246.0 kg hangs from the end of a uniform strut which is held at an angle theta = 40.0o with respect to the horizontal. The cable supporting the strut is at angle alpha = 24.4o with respect to the horizontal. The strut has a mass of 58.2 kg. Find the magnitude of the tension T in the cable. Find the magnitude of the horizontal component of the force exerted on the strut by the hinge? Find the magnitude of the vertical component of the force exerted on the strut by the hinge?
