A person with weight 700 N stands d = 1.00 m away from the wall on a scripted l = 5.00 m beam, as shown in this figure. The weight of the beam is 5,000 N. Define upward as the positive y direction and to the right as the positive x direction.



a)Find the tension in the wire. (Enter the magnitude only.)

b)Find the horizontal component of the hinge force. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)

c)Find the vertical component. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)



It would be great if you could explain how you get the answer not just the answer, thank you!!
