Equilibrium: A 100-kg nonuniform boom that is 6.0 m long is loosely pinned at the pivot at P. A 600-kg concrete block is suspended from the end of the boom at A, as shown in the figure. The boom forms a 30° angle above the horizontal, and is supported by a 4.0-m cable between points D and B. Point B is 4.0 m from P, and point D is 4.0 m above P. The center of mass of the boom is at point C, which is 2.0 m from P. Assume that all the quantities shown in the figure are accurate to two significant figures. What is the tension in the cable connected between points B and D?
A. 9300 N B. 8400 N C. 8100 N D. 7500 N E. 6900 N
