Answer

The horizontal component of the force on the bar from the hinge is $~~433~N$

Work Step by Step

To find the horizontal component of the force on the bar from the hinge $F_{hx}$, we can consider the net horizontal force on the bar: $\sum F_x = 0$ $F_{hx} - (500~N)~cos~30.0^{\circ} = 0$ $F_{hx} = (500~N)~cos~30.0^{\circ}$ $F_{hx} = 433~N$ The horizontal component of the force on the bar from the hinge is $~~433~N$.
