A 62.0 kg athlete  hangs from a 3.00 m long horizontal bar. The athlete is one fifth of the length from one end. Find the support force at each end of the bar, assuming that the mass of the bar is negligible.
A 55kg person rests on two crutches. They are in equilibrium. 25% of their weight is supported by the ground. Each crutch is at an angle of 105 degrees. Calculate the magnitude of the force each crutch exerts on the person.
There are four forces acting on a pole, A = 10i N, B = 20j N, C = -30j N, D = -40i N. What should be the magnitude of force E that must be exerted on the pole to maintain static equilibrium?
