Question

As shown in the figure below, a uniform beam is supported by a cable at one end and the force of friction at the other end. The cable makes an angle of ? = 30°, the length of the beam is L = 4.75 m, the coefficient of static friction between the wall and the beam is μs = 0.520, and the weight of the beam is represented by w. Determine the minimum distance x from point A at which an additional weight 2w (twice the weight of the rod) can be hung without causing the rod to slip at point A.
