A uniform bar of length 18 m and mass 1 kg is attached to a wall with a hinge that exerts a horizontal force Hx and a vertical force Hy on the bar. The bar is held by a cord that makes a 90? angle with respect to the bar; the bar makes an angle of 43? with respect to wall. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2.
What is the magnitude of the horizontal force Hx on the pivot?
