Finding tension force and and components of a uniform boom

[kurispice]

Homework Statement

A 1200-N uniform boom at ∅=55° to the horizontal is supported by a cable at an angle θ=25.0° to the horizontal. The boom is pivoted at the bottom and an object of weight 2 000 N hangs from its top.
Find (a) the tension in the support cable and (b) the horizontal and vertical components of the reaction force exerted by the pivot boom.

Homework Equations

\tau=Fd
ƩF_{}x=0
ƩF_{}y=0

The Attempt at a Solution

What I did was start by drawing a diagram of the picture but I don't know how to draw in the force. Your help is appreciated!

"cable" (like "rope" or "string", but unlike "beam" "boom" etc) means that the force must be along the cable
