An \( 80 \, \text{kg} \) block is placed \( 2 \, \text{m} \) away from the endpoint of a horizontal steel beam of length \( 6.6 \, \text{m} \) and mass \( 1,450 \, \text{kg} \). The plank makes contact with a vertical wall on one end (assume it does not slip).  The other end of the beam is attached to a massless cable that makes an angle of \( 30^\circ \) with the horizontal and ties into the vertical wall as well. Calculate the (1) tension force in the cable and (2) the total force the wall exerts on the beam.

The maximum energy a bone can absorb without breaking is surprisingly small. Experimental data show that a leg bone of a healthy, \( 80 \) \( \text{kg} \) human can absorb about \( 240 \) \( \text{J} \). From what maximum height could a \( 80 \) \( \text{kg} \) person jump and land rigidly upright on both feet without breaking their legs? Assume that all energy is absorbed by the leg bones in a rigid landing. Express your answer with the appropriate units.
