A 56.0kg painter is on a uniform 23.5kg scaffold supported from above by ropes . There is a 5.0kg pail of paint to one side, as shown. How close to the end can he approach safely?
Torques left, about right rope. Scaffold is 6m long. 23.5/6 = 3.91667kg per metre. 3.91667 x 5m = 19.58335kg/m. 5kg x 3m = 15kg/m. Total = 34.58335kg/m torque. Torque right. 1 x 3.19667 = 3.91667kg/m. Subtract right from left, = 34.58335 - 3.91667 = 30.6667kg/m can be applied by the painter. 30.6667/ 56 = .548 metre, the painter can move to the right of the right rope.
lacking information. How lots stress can each and each rope sustain, how lots tilt will the scaffolding undergo by using circulate. you desire to be lacking some information, that question is unanswerable too many variables.
