A hungry bear weighing 700N walks out on a beam in an attempt to retrieve a basket of food hanging at the end of the beam. The beam is uniform, weighs 200N and is 6m long; the basket weighs 80N. When the bear is at x=1m find the tension in the wire and the components of the force exerted by the wall on the left end of the beam. If the wire can withstand a maximum tension of 900N, what is the maximum distance the bear can walk before the wire breaks?
