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.

Jamal and Dayo are lifting a large chest, weighing 207 lb, by using the two rope handles attached to either side. As they lift and hold it up so that it is motionless, each handle makes a different angle with respect to the vertical side of the chest (Fig. P5.76). If the angle between Jamals handle and the vertical side is 25.0 and the angle between Dayos handle and the vertical side of the chest is 30.0, what are the tensions in each handle? FIGURE P5.76
