(I attempted on my own already) A 1220 N uniform beam is attached to a vertical wall at one end and is supported by a cable at the other end. A W = 1860 N crate hangs from the far end of the beam.
a) Calculate the magnitude of the horizontal component of the force that the wall exerts on the left end of the beam if the angle between the cable and horizontal is θ = 49°. My answer: 1429.630896 N
b) Calculate the magnitude of the vertical component of the force that the wall exerts on the left end of the beam. My answer: 1435.397793 N
