5. Equilibrium - Problem 1 In the figure below, suppose the length L of the uniform bar is 3.00 m and its weight is W=200 N. The bar is hinged to a vertical wall at point A and suspended at point B by a weightless string tied to the wall at point C. There is a block with weight WB = 300 N, at position x on the bar. The angle that the string makes with the bar is 0 = 30.0°. (a) Draw all forces acting on the system. (b) If the system is in equilibrium, write separate expressions for the horizontal, and the vertical components of the force on the bar. (c) The wire can withstand a maximum tension of 500 N (to 3 significant figures). What is the maximum possible distance x before the wire breaks? с
