(a) The sign is attached in two places: at x

1

= 1.00 m (measured rightward from the hinge) and

at x

2

= 3.00 m. We assume the downward force due to the sign’s weight is equal at these two

attachment points: each being half the sign’s weight of mg. The angle where the cable comes into
contact (also at x

2

) is θ = tan

1

(4/3) and the force exerted there is the tension T . Computing

torques about the hinge, we find

(b) Equilibrium of horizontal forces requires the (rightward) horizontal hinge force be F

x

= T cos θ =

245 N.

(c) And equilibrium of vertical forces requires the (upward) vertical hinge force be F

y

= mg

−T sin θ =

163 N.
