A uniform horizontal beam 5.00 m long and weighing 320 N is attached to a wall by a pin connection tht allows the beam to rotate. Its far end is supported by a cable that makes an angle of 53 degrees with the horizontal. The cable can support a maximum tension 400 N. A man weighing 600 N is standing on the beam. How far out on the beam can the person stand without breaking the cable?
