Computation - A 6-kg bowling ball rests on a uniform beam of length L and mass M, as in the figure. The beam is supported at two points separated by a distance BL where ß = 0.59 and the bowling ball is a distance d from support point 1. Find the largest distance dmax such that the beam does not tip if M = 17 kg and L = 4.9 m. - [Note: To keep the bowling ball on the beam, report an answer of dmax ≤ L. For some values, a correct calculation gives dmax > L. That means the bowling ball can be placed anywhere on the beam without tipping and, in that case, the correct answer is dmax = L = 4.9 m.) dmax = m L- -BL- M Report your numerical answer below, assuming three significant figures.
