A hungry bear weighing 700. N walks out on a beam in an attempt to retrieve a basket of goodies hanging at the end of the beam as shown. The beam is uniform, weighs 200. N, and is 6.00 m long, and it is supported by a wire at an angle of θ = 60.0°. The basket weighs 80.0 N. When the bear is at x = 1.00 m, find the tension in the wire supporting the

beam.

N, and is 6.00 m long, and it is supported by a wire at an angle of θ = 60.0°. The basket weighs 80.0 N. If the wire can withstand a maximum tension of 900. N, what is the maximum distance the bear can walk before the wire breaks?
