We can solve the problem by requiring the equilibrium of the forces and the equilibrium of torques.
1) Equilibrium of forces:

where

is the weight of the person

is the weight of the scaffold
Re-arranging, we can write the equation as

(1)
2) Equilibrium of torques:

where 3 m and 2 m are the distances of the forces from the center of mass of the scaffold.
Using

and replacing T1 with (1), we find

from which we find

And then, substituting T2 into (1), we find
Answer:
0
Explanation:
Forces with equal magnitudes and opposite directions cancel each other out, so the net force is 0.
Answer: (Sorry, but I don't know how to calculate mass)
1. 15 N
2. 0.4921
(feet per second squared)
4. 150 N
5. 8.202 feet per second squared
Answer:
You need to use charts or a calculator to get 56%
Explanation:
Before the skydiver opens the parachute, his velocity would be increasing greatly as much as 9.8 m/s². Opening the parachute would increase the surface area to which air may cause resistance. The skydiver then reaches his terminal velocity.
