A thin horizontal bar AB of negligible weight and length L is pinned to a vertical wall at A and supported at B by a thin wire Be that makes an angle 8 with the horizontal. A weight W can be moved anywhere along the bar as defined by the distance x from the wall (Fig). (a) Find the tension T in the thin wire as a function of x. (b) Find the horizontal and the vertical components of the force exerted on the bar by the pin at A. (c) With W = 315 N, L = 2.76 m, and θ = 32.0°, find the maximum distance x before the wire breaks if the wire can withstand a maximum tension of 520 N.
