Find TENSION and REACTION FORCE on a Cable Hung Beam | Statics for Engineers
I am not sponsored by Sharpie... yet! A beam, supported at one end by an angled cable, and at the other by a pin is loaded with a 50lb block at one end. Calculate the tension force in the supporting cable as well as the force by the pin on the beam. This statics problem uses the sum of all torques around a point as well as the sum of all forces in both the horizontal and vertical axes to solve for the external forces on the beam. This problem comes up in physics and engineering courses such as PLTW POE as well as tests such as the AP Physics C Mechanics test and JEE.
