A diver of weight 570 N stands at the end of a diving board of length L = 4.5 m and negligible mass (see the figure below). The board is fixed to two pedestals separated by distance d = 1.2 m. Take the upward direction to be positive. Of the forces acting on the board, what are (a) the force from the left pedestal and (b) the force from the right pedestal? d L

The man is holding up the 35-kg ladder ABC by pushing perpendicular to the ladder. The total length of the ladder is AC= 6m. If the maximum force that the man can exert is 400N at B which is 2m from A, determine the smallest angle, theta, at which the man can support the ladder.
A uniform 37.0 kg scaffold of length 6.2 m is supported by two light cables, as shown below.
