A uniform horizontal beam \(AB\) 6 m long and weighing 120 N is hinged at \(A\). A cable \(BD\) is attached to the free end \(B\) and anchored to a wall at point \(D\) which is 4 m horizontally from \(B\) and 3 m above \(B\). Determine the tension in the cable and the horizontal reaction at the hinge \(A\).

Answer Options

A. Tension = 120 N; horizontal reaction at A = 60 N (to the right)
Correct Answer B. Tension = 100 N; horizontal reaction at A = 80 N (to the right)
C. Tension = 100 N; horizontal reaction at A = 80 N (to the left)
D. Tension = 80 N; horizontal reaction at A = 100 N (to the right)
Correct Answer
B
Correct Option:
Tension = 100 N; horizontal reaction at A = 80 N (to the right)
