Expert Solution
Step 1 :Introduction

Torque acting on an object is defined as the product of perpendicular force to the distance from the pivot point , that is , τ=rF .

Let the hinge point be the pivot point , so the torques are due to the tension force acting in the anti-clockwise direction , which is , τ acting at a distance dτ=3 m from the pivot point , the weight force of the beam acting clockwise direction , which is , Fb=mbg acting at a distance db=1.5 m from the pivot point and the weight force of the monkey acting clockwise direction , which is , Fm=mmg acting at a distance dm=1 m from the pivot point . As the system is at equilibrium , the net torque will be zero , that is ,TdT-mbgdb-mmgdm=0 , where mb=22 kg is the mass of beam , mm=13 kg is the mass of monkey and g=9.8 m/s2 is the acceleration due to gravity .

 

The horizontal forces acting are the horizontal component of hinge force which is FHx=FHcosθ and the the horizontal component of tension force , which is , τx=τcos25° . As the system is at equilibrium , the relation will be FHcosθ=Tcos25° .
