A uniform 5.0 m long 25 kg plank is to hold two people washing windows on a downtownskyscraper. The plank is supported by a rope at each end, and each of the ropes has abreaking point of 1200 N (the maximum tension allowed before the rope breaks). If the massof the window washer that is standing 1.0 m from the right end of the plank is 85 kg and thesecond window washer with a mass of 75 kg stands 2.0 m from the left end of the plank, thenwhat are the magnitudes of the tensions in each rope? Do either of the ropes break? Include aforce or free-body diagram of the situation.

A tightrope walker is walking between two buildings holding a pole with length ?=15.5 m, and mass ??=19.5 kg. The daredevil grips the pole with each hand a distance ?=0.575 m from the center of the pole. A bird of mass ??=525 g lands on the very end of the left‑hand side of the pole. Assuming the daredevil applies upward forces with the left and right hands in a direction perpendicular to the pole, what magnitude of force ?left and ?right must the left and right hand exert to counteract the torque of the bird?
