A hungry rabbit weighing 10 N moves out on a beam in an attempt to get some of the carrots hanging in a bag at the end of the beam. The beam is uniform, weighs 30 N and is 10 m long. The bag of carrots weigh 10 N. The beam is hinged horizontally to a wall and the end of the beam is connected to the wall by a cable which has an angle of 30° with the horizontal. If the cable can only withstand a maximum tension of 65 N, what is the maximum distance from the wall the rabbit can move before the cable breaks ?
