Ok, sorry for this post but I *think* I've found the solution. Please do correct me if I'm wrong.
So, technically:
Hyp (T or Tension) = 200 / sin(30)
sin(30) * T = 200
But the answer uses: T sin(30) * 0.5 = 200 * 0.5 which is the same as saying sin(30) * T = 200
Thanks & Best Regards...

Homework Statement
Here goes: There is a beam of 0.5m length hinged to a wall at a right angle with 200N mass at the end of the beam. This is supported by a wire T at angle 30°. The question asks...
