Throcky is placed at the end of the board which is 4.00 m long. It Is supported by a point 1.50 m from the left end, and Throcky has a weight of 980 N As you can see In the diagram the left end is held down by a lip which wraps around above the board. The diving board can be considered uniform and has a masss of 34.0 kg. a. Find the force at the support point. b. Find the force at the left end.Explanation / Answer
a)
Taking torque about left end we have
F 1.5 - 980 x 4 + 34x9.8x2 = 0
F = 3057.6 N
b)
force at the left end
FL +3057.6 = 34x9.8 +980
FL = 1744.4 N
