# Problem Statement

### Understanding Forces in Equilibrium

A uniform plank of length 2.00 m and mass 35.0 kg is supported by three ropes, as indicated by the blue vectors in the figure below. Find the tension in each rope when a 675-N person is \( d = 0.500 \) m from the left end.

---

**To calculate:**

- Magnitude of \( \vec{T}_1 \): ________ N
- Magnitude of \( \vec{T}_2 \): ________ N
- Magnitude of \( \vec{T}_3 \): ________ N

---

### Diagram Explanation

The diagram shows the setup:

- The plank (horizontal) is 2.00 m long.
- A person is standing \( d = 0.500 \) m from the left end of the plank.
- Three tension forces (\( \vec{T}_1 \), \( \vec{T}_2 \), and \( \vec{T}_3 \)) are acting on the plank, represented by blue arrows.
  - \( \vec{T}_1 \) is at the right end, angled \( 40.0^\circ \) from the horizontal.
  - \( \vec{T}_2 \) is at the left end, vertically upward.
  - \( \vec{T}_3 \) is acting horizontally to the left from the middle of the plank.

By solving the equilibrium conditions, namely the sum of all horizontal forces, vertical forces, and torques around a point being zero, we can determine the tension in each rope.
