A uniform 33.5-kg beam of length
ℓ = 4.50 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.
(b) Find the force that the column exerts on the right end of the beam. (Enter the magnitude.)
