Question
A tightrope walker is walking between two buildings holding
a pole with length L = 14.5 m, and mass m, = 20.0 kg. The
daredevil grips the pole with each hand a distance
d = 0.525 m from the center of the pole. A bird of mass
m, = 560 g lands on the very end of the left-hand side of the
2d
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?
