Ah, those were the days. I was in my 5th semester of Calc (Linear Diff Eq?), when I got up, walked out of class, and ran across the campus screaming something unintelligible at the top of my lungs. 
I was released from the medical lockup facility after a 72 hour "visit".

Yeah, it will be my worst class next semester. Its a waste for me since I'm in electrical engineering but I still have to take it.  |

If the wire were straight up, it would have half of the weight of the beam on it. But it isn't straight up, it is at a 30 degree angle from straight up. You know this because it says the angle between the wire and the beam is 60, and 90-60=30.
