A uniform beam \(AB\) of length \(6\text{ m}\) is hinged at \(A\) to a vertical wall. The beam makes an angle of \(30^{\circ}\) with the horizontal. A cable \(CD\) is attached to the free end \(B\) and to a point \(D\) on the wall \(4\text{ m}\) above \(A\). The beam carries a downward load of \(800\text{ N}\) applied at its midpoint, and its own weight is \(200\text{ N}\) acting at the centre. Determine the tension in the cable \(CD\) (in newtons).
