Sir Lancelot rides slowly out of the castle at Camelot and onto
the 12.0-m-long drawbridge that passes over the moat (Fig. ).
Unbeknownst to him, his enemies have partially severed the vertical
cable holding up the front end of the bridge so that it will break under
a tension of 5.80 * 103 N. The bridge has mass 200 kg and its center
of gravity is at its center. Lancelot, his lance, his armor, and his horse
together have a combined mass of 600 kg. Will the cable break before
Lancelot reaches the end of the drawbridge? If so, how far from the
castle end of the bridge will the center of gravity of the horse plus rider
be when the cable breaks?
