Question:

A bar suspended by two vertical strings?

The figure shows a model of a crane that may be mounted on a truck.A rigid uniform horizontal bar of mass m1 75kg and length L 5.40m is supported by two vertical massless stringsString A is attached at a distance d 1.3m from the left end of the bar and is connected to the top plateString B is attached to the left end of the bar and is connected to the floorAn object of mass m2 3000kg is supported by the crane at a distance x 5.2m from the left end of the barThroughout this problem, positive torque is counterclockwiseUse 9.81m/s/s for the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity(1) Find T(A) the tension in string A.(2) Find T(B) the magnitude of the tension in string B.Can someone please show how to do this?
