Homework Statement
2. A mass M=169 kg is suspended from the end of a uniform boom.The boom (mass=90.0 kg, length=3.60 m) is at an angle θ=68.0 deg from the vertical, and is supported at its mid-point by a horizontal cable and by a pivot at its base. Calculate the tension in the horizontal cable.
Homework Equations
T=mg
T=ma
The Attempt at a Solution
i am not sure how to solve for tension when given an angle. i know i need to use sin(68) somewhere in the problem i am just confused as to where
