A construction worker is standing on a metal beam supported by two vertical cables. The uniform beam weighs 624 N and is 3.1 m long. The cables are located at opposite ends of the beam. What is the tension each cable when the 960-N worker stands 1.10 m from one end? (Hints: It does not matter which end you place the construction worker closer to. Either way one cable is under a greater tension.) smaller tension larger tension
