A gymnast with mass m1 = 46 kg is on a balance beam that sits on (but is not attached to) two supports. The beam has a mass m2 = 118 kg and length L = 5 m. Each support is 1/3 of the way from each end. Initially the gymnast stands at the left end of the beam.
1.How much extra mass could the gymnast hold before the beam begins to tip?
2.Now the gymnast (not holding any additional mass) walks directly above the right support.
What is the force the left support exerts on the beam?
3.What is the force the right support exerts on the beam?

A wooden beam with mass of 30 kg is placed over two supports.
The beam is just resting on top of the supports - it is not
connected to the supports. The beam is 5 meters long and 2 meters
is cantilevered out over the right-hand support. How far from the
right end of the beam could a 50 kg person stand before the beam
tips? (Hint: Think about what happens to the left reaction force
when the beam just...
