Four charges are placed at the corners of a square of side $$10 \mathrm{~cm}$$,as shown in Figure 7.
$$
\begin{array}{l}
\mathrm{A}=+10 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{C} \\
\mathrm{B}=+8 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{C} \\
\mathrm{C}=-12 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{C} \\
\mathrm{D}=-6 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{C}
\end{array}
$$

A beam of weight $$6.0 \mathrm{~N}$$ is suspended from two strings $$\mathrm{P}$$ and $$\mathrm{Q}$$.
String $$\mathrm{P}$$ is $$30 \mathrm{~cm}$$ from the left-hand end of the beam,as shown.String $$\mathrm{Q}$$ is not shown.
The tension in string $$\mathrm{P}$$ is $$2.0 \mathrm{~N}$$.
What is the tension in string $$\mathrm{Q}$$ and where is it attached so that the beam is in equilibrium?( )

The diagram shows a wooden beam $$PQ$$,of negligible weight,which is attached to a wall by a hinge at $$P$$ and kept in a horizontal position by a vertical rope attached at $$Q$$
The beam is $$3.0 m$$ in length.
A man of weight $$800 N$$ walks along the beam from $$P$$ to $$Q$$.
What is the distance of the man from $$P$$ when the tension in the rope at $$Q$$ becomes equal to $$500 N ?$$ ( )
