A diver of mass 75.6 kg stands on one end of a diving board of mass 39.1 kg, as shown in the diagram. Everything is in equilibrium (since nothing is moving). What is the magnitude of the support force on the opposite end of the diving board? 2,345 N 503 N 1,675 N 838 N
A monkey of mass m = 10.0 kg is holding on to two vines each of length l = 3.00 m. The vines form an angle with the horizontal of 40.0 degrees (see figure). The monkey is not moving and the vines are considered massless and not stretchable. Determine the magnitude of the tension in each vine. d. Now the monkey moves up by clinging up the two vines, causing their angle with the horizontal to become smaller. If each vine breaks at a tension larger than T = 100 N, what is the smallest angel the vines can have with the horizontal?
