The figure shows a horizontal beam of mass M = 51.3 kg and length L = 6.7 m supported at its left end by a frictionless pin and at the other end by an ideal cable attached to wall h = 8 m above the beam. A mass m = 23.6 kg is suspended from the beam a distance d = 2.2 m from the wall. Find the tension in the cable.
