1. The sign Ye Olde Tavern is supported by a horizontal beam (A-C) and a cable (B-C). The sign has a weight of W= 294 N.
a) Take (Summate) the torques of the system about point A then find the tension in the cable.
b) Find the vertical force on the wall attachment at point A by taking torque about point C.
c) Find horizontal force on the wall attachment at point A.
The Angle is θ
Total Length of the beam is 4d with the sign being equal to 3d (so there is a gap of 1d)
A is the base right angle
B is where the cable and pole meet
C is where the cable and beam meet.
T=Ia
Fx - Tcosx = 0
Fy + Tsinx -Fg = 0
I really have no idea how to go about this problem but for
a) at point A ƩT=∅ along with ƩF=∅
so I believe that tension would have to equal T=0 for the cord (?)
