Find what is the direction and magnitude of the force

Reference no: EM13659576

A uniform drawbridge must be held at a 37 deg. angle above the horizontal to allow ships to pass underneath. The drawbridge weighs 45,000 Newton and is 14.0 meter long. A cable is connected 3.5 meter from the hinge where the bridge pivots (measured along the bridge) and pulls horizontally on the bridge to hold it in place.

a.) Compute the tension in the cable?

b.) Find the direction and magnitude of the force the hinge exerts on the bridge.
