Question

A 62 kg rock climber is attached to a rope that is allowing him to hang horizontally with his feet against the wall. The tension in the rope is 7.1 × 10² N, and the rope makes an angle of 32° with the horizontal. Determine the force exerted by the wall on the climber's feet. [ans: 6.5 × 10² N [left 21° up]]

Step 1

Forces on the climber: weight W = mg (down), tension T = 7.1 × 10^2 N at 32° above the horizontal (to the right), and the wall force Fw at the feet (unknown, with components Fwx horizontal and Fwy vertical). The climber is in equilibrium so the vector sum of Show more…
