A flower basket is hung from the end of a uniform horizontal pole which projects from a wall, as shown. The pole is supported by a cable attached to a higher point on the wall:
The pole has a mass of 10.0 kg; the flower basket has a mass of 14.0 kg.
a By taking moments about the right hand end of the pole, determine the value of the
tension in the cable T. [5]
b The wall exerts a force R on the pole. Deduce the horizontal component of R.
