Given information
We have given that,The uniform beam is hinged at one end that is held in a horizontal position by a cable.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
In this scenario, three forces are acting on the beam. The weight of the beam, the tension in the cable, and the force from the wall are all factors to consider. We may find that the vertical component of the tension in the cable is equal to half the weight of the beam by measuring torques around the point where the beam hits the wall.
