9. An 8.0m long uniform boom weighing 2400N is anchored to the ground at one end and sticks up at a 45°angle toward the right. It is held in this position by a cable rising at 30°above horizontal and extending toward the left from the top of the boom. If a 1000N weight hangs from the top of this boom what is the tension in each cable. You must draw the free body diagram to receive full credit.
