QUESTION:
A taho vendor carries a 1.5 m long light plank over his shoulder. At the ends of the plank are two buckets weighing 40 N and 60 N respectively.
(a) Find the value of force F exerted by his shoulder. Neglect the weight of the plank.
ANSWER:
Where :-
N = Unkown
(a) The force exerted on the shoulder is;
The net vertical force is,
∑ Fy = 0
F - 40 N - 60 N = 0
F - 100 N = 0
F = 100 N
