A hungry bear weighing 705 N walks out on a beam in an attempt to retrieve a basket of goodies hanging at the end of the beam (see the figure below). The beam is uniform, weighs 200 N, and is 5.50 m long, and it is supported by a wire at an angle of 0 = 60.0°. The basket weighs 80.0 N. Goodies (a) Draw a force diagram for the beam. (Submit a file with a maximum size of 1 MB.) Browse... No file selected This answer has not been graded yet. (b) When the bear is at x = 1.20 m, find the tension in the wire supporting the beam. When the bear is at x = 1.20 m, find the components of the force exerted by the wall on the left end of the beam. (Assume the positive +x direction is to the right and the positive +y direction is upward. Include the sign of the value in your answer.) Fx = N Fy (c) If the wire can withstand a maximum tension of 850 N, what is the maximum distance the bear can walk before the wire breaks?

a bird feeder that weighs 199.3 N. The feeder is supported by a vertical wire, which is in turn tied to two wires, each of which is attached to a horizontal support. The left wire makes a 60° angle with the support, while the right wire makes a 30° angle. What is the tension in each wire (in N)? (A) left wire, (B) right wire, (C)bottom wire
Two vertical ropes support a 2.00 meter 500N sign. The sign is uniform so its weight force acts at its center. The left rope exerts an upward tension force , T1, and it acts at the far left edge of the sign. The right tension force, T2, acts 0.57 meters to the left of the far right edge. Solve for the values of the two tension forces

A wire is stretched between two buidlings. When a tight rope walker, weighing 617.9 N, is standing at the middle of the wire, each half of the wire makes an angle of 8 degrees with respect to the horizontal. What is the tension in each half of the wire?
On her way to visit Grandmother, Red Riding Hood sat down to rest and placed her 1.20 kg basket of goodies beside her. A wolf came along, spotted the basket, and began to pull on the handle with a force of 6.40 N at an angle of 25 degree with respect to vertical. Red was not going to let go easily, so she pulled on the handle with a force of 12.2 N. If the net force on the basket is straight up, at what angle was Red Riding Hood pulling from the vertical?
