To solve this problem, we will analyze the forces and torques acting on the horizontal beam, assuming it is in static equilibrium. We will take the left end of the beam as the pivot point for calculating torques. Let g=9.8 m/s2g = 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2.

First, let's identify the forces and their components:

  1. Force F1=30 NF_1 = 30 \, \text{N}: This force is applied at the left end, pointing downwards and to the left. The angle with the horizontal is 30∘30^\circ.
    • Horizontal component: F1x=−30cos⁡(30∘)F_{1x} = -30 \cos(30^\circ) (to the left)
    • Vertical component: $F_{
