A uniform horizontal beam AB of length 6 m is hinged at A to a vertical wall. The free end B is attached to a cable AC that makes an angle of \(30^{\circ}\) with the horizontal and is anchored to the wall at point C vertically above A. The beam carries a downward load of 800 N applied at a point 2 m from A. Determine (i) the tension in the cable and (ii) the horizontal and vertical components of the reaction at the hinge A.

Answer Options

A. T = 1600/3 N; R_x = 800√3/3 N (right); R_y = 1600/3 N (up)
B. T = 800 N; R_x = -800√3/3 N (left); R_y = 800 N (up)
C. T = 1600/3 N; R_x = -800√3/3 N (left); R_y = -1600/3 N (down)
Correct Answer D. T = 1600/3 N; R_x = -800√3/3 N (left); R_y = 1600/3 N (up)
Correct Answer
D
Correct Option:
T = 1600/3 N; R_x = -800√3/3 N (left); R_y = 1600/3 N (up)
