Homework Statement
The writing was just my reasoning, which I don't think is right.
Assume the beam is massless.
Homework Equations
T = Fd sin θ
F = mg
net force must be zero.
net torque must be zero.
The Attempt at a Solution
d * 1/2F + 980 = d * (sin 37) T
1/2 F + 980 = (sin 37) T
I don't know what to do from here.
I can mathematically solve the problem to an extent, but conceptually I don't understand how to do the problem. Can someone explain to me how to do the problem from scratch and the reasoning for steps (like what forces are acting on the beam)?
