A hungry bear weighs 700 N walks to a basket of candy that is located in
end of a beam . The beam is uniform and weighs 200N , with a length of 6.0 m . The beam is supported
by a cord forming an angle of 60 ° . The basket weighs 80 N. When the bear is within 1.2 m
determine the tension of the rope.

Start by drawing a free-body diagram and analyzing the forces on each object.
Well the forces affecting the bear and the beam are the mass x gravity and the normal force.The cord sustaining the bear and the beam has a tension and mass X gravity force. I am sorry i am kind of stuck in this problem i don't know how to solve it.
