Atrapeze artist, with swing, weighs 800 n; he is momentarily heldto one side by his partner using a horizontal force so that theswing ropes make an angle of 30o with thevertical. in such a condition of static equilibrium, what isthe horizontal force being applied by the partner?

461.88 N

Explanation:

= Weight of the swing = 800 N

= Tension force in the rope

= Horizontal force being applied by the partner

Using equilibrium of force in vertical direction using the force diagram, we get

Using equilibrium of force in horizontal direction using the force diagram, we get
