Halliday, Resnick & Walker β€” Equilibrium and Elasticity: Problem 9

9 A scaffold of mass 65 kg and length 5.2 m is supported in a horizontal position by a vertical cable at each end. A window washer of mass 80 kg stands at a point 1.5 m from one end. What is the tension in (a) the nearer cable and (b) the farther cable?

πŸ“ Solution Approach

Given: 9 A, 65 kg, 5.2 m, . A, 80 kg, 1.5 m

Find: (a) the nearer cable and; (b) the farther cable?
