Math Problem Statement
A uniform 34.5-kg beam of length ℓ = 4.10 m is supported by a vertical rope located d = 1.20 m from its left end as in the figure below. The right end of the beam is supported by a vertical column. A beam of length ℓ is suspended from a rope and supported by a vertical column. The rope is attached at a point that is a distance d from the left end of the beam. The column is beneath the right end of the beam. (a) Find the tension in the rope. N (b) Find the force that the column exerts on the right end of the beam. (Enter the magnitude.) N
