Question
The figure shows a 4.20-kg, 1.80-m-long rod hinged to a vertical wall and supported by a thin wire. The wire and rod each make angles of 45° with the vertical. When a 10.0-kg block is suspended from the midpoint of the rod, the tension \( T \) in the supporting wire is 49.3 N. The wire will break when the tension exceeds 75.0 N.

**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram illustrates a rod attached to a wall at one end, forming a hinge. A thin wire extends from the wall to the rod, and both the wire and rod are angled at 45° relative to the vertical plane. A 10.0-kg block is hanging from the midpoint of the rod. The tensions and forces acting in this static system are essential for understanding equilibrium and maximum load capacity.

**Problem:**

What is the maximum distance \( d_{max} \) from the hinge from which the block can be suspended?

\[ d_{max} = \text{______} \, \text{m} \]
