Chapter 3.3, Problem 3.86P
A worker tries to move a rock by applying a 360-N force to a steel bar as shown. If two workers attempt to move the same rock by applying a force at A and a parallel force at C, determine these two forces so that they will be equivalent to the single 360-N force shown in the figure.

Students have asked these similar questions
A construction worker on a job site attempts to move a boulder out of the way by attempting to apply force F to a steel bar as shown.
Unfortunately, his attempt at using the steel bar as a lever to move the boulder fails. He is not strong enough.
The worker enlists a coworker to help him. The worker applies a force F₁ at point A and the coworker applies a parallel force F2₂ at
point C. Calculate these two forces so that they will be equivalent to the single force F shown in the figure.
Hint: For the two forces to be equivalent to the single force, they must give the system the same translation and rotation as the single
force does.
The force Fis 1240 N.
