A 46.0 kg uniform rod 4.25 m long is attached to a wall with a hinge at one end. The rod is held in a horizontal position by a wire attached to its other end. The wire makes an angle of 30 degrees with the horizontal, and is bolted to the wall directly above the hinge.
If the wire can withstand a maximum tension of 1400 N before breaking, how far from the wall can a 65.0 kg person sit without breaking the wire?
I've gotten them all except for this one. Any help would be appreciated.
