A 450 N, uniform, 1.50m bar is suspended horizontally by two vertical cables at each end. Cable A can support a maximum tension of 550N tension without breaking and cable B can support up to 400N. You want to place a small weight on this bar. What is the heaviest weight you can put on without breaking either cable?
