The person in Figure P4.49 weighs 170. lb. Eachcrutch makes an angle of 22.0° with the vertical (as seen from thefront). Half of the person’s weight is supported by the crutches,the other half by the vertical forces exerted by the ground on his feet. Assuming he is atrest and the force exerted bythe ground on the crutchesacts along the crutches, determine(a) the smallest possiblecoefficient of friction betweencrutches and ground and(b) the magnitude of the compressionforce supported byeach crutch.
