Figure 12-50 shows a 70 kg climber hanging by only the crimp hold of one hand on the edge of a shallow horizontal ledge in a rock wall. (The fingers are pressed down to gain purchase.) Her feet touch the rock wall at distance H = 2.0 m directly below her crimped fingers but do not provide any support. Her center of mass is distance a = 0.20 m from the wall. Assume that the force from the ledge supporting her fingers is equally shared by the four fingers. What are the values of the (a) horizontal component Fh and (b) vertical component Fv of the force on each fingertip?

- Two men are carrying a ladder of length l by supporting it at its ends. The ladder is horizontal, and its center of gravity is 1/4 of the way from one end. At what distance x from this end must a can of paint, of mass 3/4 of that of the ladder, be suspended so that the men carry equal loads?arrow_forwardPlease help mearrow_forwardAn acrobat is walking on a tightrope of length L = 20.2 m attached to supports A and B at a distance of 20.0 m from each other. The combined weight of the acrobat and his balancing pole is 800 N, and the friction between his shoes and the rope is large enough to prevent him from slipping. Neglecting the weight of the rope and any elastic deformation, calculate the deflection y and the tension in portions AC and BC of the rope for values of x from 1 m to 19.0 m using 3-m increments. From the data obtained, a0 plot y vs x b) plot both Tension in AC and Tension in BC Vs x. Using the plots, determine (c) the maximum deflection of the rope, (d) the maximum tension in the rope, (e) the smallest values of the tension in portions AC and BC of the rope.
