A uniform beam \(A B\) has length 6 m and mass 45 kg . One end of a light inextensible rope is attached to the beam at the point 2.5 m from \(A\). The other end of the rope is attached to a fixed point \(P\) on a vertical wall. The beam is in equilibrium with \(A\) in contact with the wall at a point 5 m below \(P\). The rope is taut and at right angles to \(A B\) (see diagram). Find
- the tension in the rope,
- the horizontal and vertical components of the force exerted by the wall on the beam at \(A\).
