A uniform beam \(AB\) 6 m long and weighing 120 N is hinged at \(A\) to a vertical wall. The beam makes an angle of \(30^{\circ}\) with the horizontal. A cable is attached at point \(C\) on the beam, 4 m from \(A\), and runs to a wall point \(D\) that is 3 m horizontally from \(A\) and 4 m above \(A\). The cable therefore makes an angle of \(45^{\circ}\) with the beam. Determine (i) the tension in the cable (in newtons, to one decimal place) and (ii) the magnitude of the reaction force at the hinge (in newtons, to one decimal place).

Answer Options

A. Tension ≈ 68.4 N, reaction magnitude ≈ 52.7 N
Correct Answer B. Tension ≈ 81.5 N, reaction magnitude ≈ 44.6 N
C. Tension ≈ 90.1 N, reaction magnitude ≈ 40.0 N
D. Tension ≈ 75.2 N, reaction magnitude ≈ 48.3 N
Correct Answer
B
Correct Option:
Tension ≈ 81.5 N, reaction magnitude ≈ 44.6 N
