A tightrope walker is walking between two buildings holding a pole with length L = 14.0 m, and mass m, = 18.5 kg. The daredevil grips the pole with each hand a distance d = 0.575 m from the center of the pole. A bird of mass m, = 545 g lands on the very end of the left-hand side of the pole. Assuming the daredevil applies upward forces with the left and right hands in a direction perpendicular to the pole, what magnitude of force Fieft and Fright must the left and right hand exert to counteract the torque of the bird? Fieft = N Fright N

Question
A tightrope walker is walking between two buildings holding
a pole with length L = 14.0 m, and mass m, = 18.5 kg. The
daredevil grips the pole with each hand a distance
d = 0.575 m from the center of the pole. A bird of mass
m, = 545 g lands on the very end of the left-hand side of the
pole.
