Question
After their wearying journey across the barren plains of Mordor, Frodo and Sam finally
reach Mount Doom and find the entrance to the Chambers of Fire. Frodo carries the One
Ring to the very brink of the Crack of Doom, preparing to destroy it in the lava belou. Frodo,
whose mass is 20 kg, stands at the very end of a platform of width w =
with mortar to the cliff above the lava. The platform's mass is 300 kg, evenly distributed
along its length. A distance r =
support beam that is attached to the cliff face above at an angle of 0 = 56° from vertical,
as shown. What is the magnitude of the tension in the support beam? [If you need to
consider the force of the cliff/mortar on the platform, I recommend writing it in terms of
two unknown components: horizontal as the cliff face pushes the platform away (a normal
force contribution) and vertical as the mortar keeps the end from sliding down.]
