- Force Tyler and his cousin Kelly have attached a rope to the branch of a tree and tied a board to the other end to form a swing. Tyler sits on the board while his cousin pushes him through an angle of 25.5 and holds him there. If Tyler weighs 95.5 pounds, find the magnitude of the force Kelly must push with horizontally to keep Tyler in static equilibrium. See Figure 13.arrow_forwardForce Tyler and his cousin Kelly have attached a rope to the branch of a tree and tied a board to the other end to form a swing.
