A hungry bear weighing 730 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 7.00 m long, and it is supported by a wire at an angle of θ = 60.0°. The basket weighs 80.0 N.
(a) If the wire can withstand a maximum tension of 875 N, what is the maximum distance the bear can walk before the wire breaks?
A 387-kg steel beam of length 5.00 m is attached to a wall by a hinge, and kept level by a cable attached to it at a 30.0◦ angle. The maximum tension that the cable can sustain before breaking is 13.0 kN. There is a support that allows a mass to be hung from the beam, three-quarters of the way along its length. (a) What is the maximum mass that can be hung from the beam before the cable snaps? (b) At this maximum mass, what is the magnitude and direction of the reaction force F from the wall against the hinge?
