A hungry bear weighing 660 N walks out on a beam in an attempt to retrieve a basket of food hanging at the end of the beam (Fig. P12.42). The beam is uniform, weighs 200 N, and is 6.40 m long; the basket weighs 80.0 N.
Figure P12.42
(b) When the bear is at x = 1.00 m, find the tension in the wire and the components of the force exerted by the wall on the left end of the beam.
1 N (tension)
2 N ( Fx)
3 N ( Fy)
(c) If the wire can withstand a maximum tension of 925 N, what is the maximum distance the bear can walk before the wire breaks?
4 m
