Question
(a) A student stands a distance d = 0.375 m from the left end of a beam as shown in the figure. The beam is supported by three lines. Find the tension in each line (in N). Assume the beam is
uniform, with length L = 2.00 m and mass 29.0 kg, and the weight of the student is 705 N. (Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations-
including answers submitted in WebAssign.)

(b) What If? The student now begins to walk to the right. If each of the lines can support a maximum tension of 750 N, which line fails first?
O line 1
O line 2
O line 3
At what location does this occur (measured in m from the left end of the beam)?
m
