Problem
A uniform 4.0m wooden beam weighing 200N is supported by vertical cables attached at both ends. A 300N crate is placed 1.0m from the left end of the beam. Neglecting the masses of the cables, what is the tension in the right cable when the system is in static equilibrium?
(a) 250N
(b) 125N
(c) 235N
(d) 175N
