Beam on platform
A homogeneous wooden beam of length 6.00 m and mass 72.0 kg lies on a horizontal platform high above the ground and overhangs by 1.80 m over the edge of the platform
a) Decide whether a person with a mass of 60.0 kg can stand on the overhanging end of the beam.
b) Determine the maximum mass of a person who can stand on the end of this beam so as not to tip over with the beam.
c) Determine to what distance from the end of the beam a person with a mass of 75.0 kg can stand so that the beam does not tip over.
d) Determine the maximum length by which the beam can overhang over the edge so that a person with a mass of 60.0 kg standing at its end does not tip over with the beam.
