Calculate the tension in the cable


A weight with a mass of 58kg is suspended from a point near the right hand end of a uniform boom with a mass of 60 kg. To support the uniform boom a cable runs from this same point to a wall (the left hand vertical coordinate) and by a pivot on the same wall at an elevation of 3m. (max is 8.5m, so left side of triangle is 5.5, bottom is 8, and hypotenuse is T). Calculate the tension in the cable. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8.
