Consider the 63.6-kg mountain climber in the Figure below. Assume the given angle of the rope from the rock wall is 33.5 degrees instead of 31 degrees; likewise assume the angle of the climbers legs from vertical is 11.4 degrees instead of 15 degrees. Find the force that the mountain climber must exert with her feet in pounds on the vertical rock face to remain stationar Assume that the force is exerted parallel to her legs. Also, assume negligible force exerted by her arms.
