A 531 N window washer is standing on a scaffold supported by a vertical rope at each end.The sca?old weighs 332 N and is 3.5 m long.Assume the window washer stands 1.36 mfrom the left end.What is the tension in the rope on the right?Answer in units of NWhat is the tension in the rope on the left?Answer in units of N
(332 N)×(3.5 m)/2 + (531 N)×(1.36 m) = (3.5 m)×R R = 372.3 N < - - - - - - - - -tension in the right rope (531 N) + (332 N) = (372.3 N) + L L = 490.7 N < - - - - - - - - - tension in the left rope
