In a city park a nonuniform wooden beam 9.00 m long is suspended horizontally by a light steel cable at each end. The cable at the left-hand end makes an angle of 30.0∘ with the vertical and has tension 630 N. The cable at the right-hand end of the beam makes an angle of 50.0∘ with the vertical.

a) As an employee of the Parks and Recreation Department, you are asked to find the weight of the beam.

b) Find the location of its center of gravity.
