A lightweight diving board is supported by two pillars. One is at the end of the board and the other is 1.55 m away. A 75-kg person is standing on the board at such a location that the pillar at the end (pillar #1) of the board exerts a 860-N force downward. Determine the following. (a) distance the person is standing from the end pillar (pillar #1) (b) magnitude of the upward force exerted by the second pillar (pillar #2)
Rotational Equilibrium And Rotational Dynamics
In physics, the state of balance between the forces and the dynamics of motion is called the equilibrium state. The balance between various forces acting on a system in a rotational motion is called rotational equilibrium or rotational dynamics.
Equilibrium of Forces
The tension created on one body during push or pull is known as force.
