In the figure, a thin horizontal bar AB of negligibleweight and length L = 3.2 m is hinged to a vertical wallat A and supported at B by a thin wireBC that makes an angle θ = 40° with thehorizontal. A block of weight W = 140 N can be movedanywhere along the bar; its position is defined by the distancex = 2.07 m from the wall to its center of mass. Find(a) the tension in the wire, and the(b) horizontal and (c) verticalcomponents of the force on the bar from the hinge atA.
