A weight (with a mass of 71 kg) is suspended from a point near the right hand end of a uniform boom with a mass of 51 kg. To support the uniform boom, a cable runs from this same point to a wall (the left-hand vertical coordinate y = 7, x = 6) and by a pivot on the same wall at an elevation of 3 m. Calculate the tension T in the cable. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 Answer in units of N.
