Question 5

5. Static Equilibrium. A restaurant with an outdoor seating area has a canopy with weight w = 200 N and length [ that is attached to a pivoting joint on one wall, and supported by a horizontal cable that is attached to an opposing wall. The canopy may be treated as a uniform beam, and it makes an ange of 20" with the horizontal as shown. Find the tension T' in the horizontal cable- Canopy. w == 200 N Cable, T =? 20 Hint: This problem can be solved by setting the net torque around a single axis to zero (a single equation, without considering the net force), but this depends your choice of axis
