Beam ABC has a mass of 69 kg, centered at the middle of the beam (not necessarily point B). The winch at C has a mass of 41 kg. A rope attaches at B and passes over a frictionless, small-diameter pulley at D. The rope is taken up by the winch, which lies directly below the pulley in the position shown (i.e. rope segment CD is vertical). Find the tension in the rope and the magnitude and direction of the reaction force at A, given the dimensions shown below.
Dimensions:
Reaction: (the force that the support exerts on the beam) = @ direction = (measured as an angle between -180 and +180 degrees from the positive x axis; counterclockwise positive)
Rope Tension: =
