A uniform beam \(AB\) 6 m long is hinged at \(A\) and rests on a roller at \(B\). A downward point load of 10 kN acts 2 m from \(A\). A cable attached at point \(C\) (4 m from \(A\)) makes an angle of \(30^{\circ}\) above the horizontal and carries tension \(T\). Determine (i) the tension \(T\) in the cable, (ii) the vertical reaction at \(B\), and (iii) the horizontal reaction at the hinge \(A\).

Answer Options

A. T = 12 kN; vertical reaction at B = 4 kN upward; horizontal reaction at A = 6\sqrt{3} kN
Correct Answer B. T = 10 kN; vertical reaction at B = 5 kN upward; horizontal reaction at A = 5\sqrt{3} kN
C. T = 10 kN; vertical reaction at B = 5 kN downward; horizontal reaction at A = 5\sqrt{3} kN
D. T = 8 kN; vertical reaction at B = 6 kN upward; horizontal reaction at A = 4\sqrt{3} kN
Correct Answer
B
Correct Option:
T = 10 kN; vertical reaction at B = 5 kN upward; horizontal reaction at A = 5\sqrt{3} kN
