{A massless bar of length, S = 7.6m is attached to a wall by a frictionless hinge (shown as a circle). The bar is held horizontal by a string that makes and angle &theta; = 37.4 degrees above the horizontal. An object of mass, M =  6kg is suspended at a length, L =    5.4m from the wall. What is the tension, T, in the string?} -a) 3.45E+01 N -b) 4.34E+01  N -c) 5.46E+01  N +d) 6.88E+01  N -e) 8.66E+01  N {In the figure shown, L1 = 5.3m, L2 = 4.3m and L3 = 7.3m.
