Statics:Find the Tension in a rope holding a boom

[QUOTE="fishturtle1, post: 5642964, member: 606256"] the horizontal distance would be Lcos(θ), but why are we treating L as a hypotenuse? In my diagram I reoriented the boom horizontal and then i did sinθ to find the F[SUB]y[/SUB] of each force and then calculated the torques that way. I am confused when you say "you need a horizontal distance from the axis of the line of action of the force"? So does this mean I need to find the distance from the axis of rotation to the line where the force is being applied? [/QUOTE]
