15. Rotational Equilibrium Beam / Shelf Against a Wall
2PRACTICE PROBLEM
An ornamental structure consists of a hinged rod and a supporting wire. Determine the tension (T) in the supporting cable and the magnitude and direction of the force exerted on the rod by the hinge when you hang a decoration that has twice the weight as the supporting rod, w. A free-body diagram is helpful.
