A 90 kg painter is standing on a horizontal wooden scaffolding of length 10 m, which is supported on each end by a rope. The painter is standing 2 m from the first rope and 8 m from the second rope. What is the tension in the first rope (in Newtons)

Explanation:

For equilibrium, .

So,   = 0

                        =

                        = 705.6 N

Also, for equilibrium = 0

              = 0

or,        

                        =

                        = 176.4 N

Thus, we can conclude that the tension in the first rope is 176.4 N.

i was thinking more like reflects green light, just not sure

measure their densities same density, same sub
