1. In the figure, a 6.00-m-long, uniform beam is hanging from a point 1.00 m to the right of its center. The beam weighs 140N and makes an angle of 30.0o with the vertical. At the right-hand end of the beam a 100-N weight is hung; an unknown weight w hangs at the other end. If the sytem is in equilibrium, what is w? (You can ignore the thickness of the beam)
2. If the beam makes, instead, an angle of 45.0o with the vertical, what is w?
