Here is the lab worksheet, I think it is the angle of the force being applied on this electron. I have plugged in numbers that I think are right, just trying to make sure I understood what they were asking for here.

I just need to know what I am being asked for here, I don't recall seeing this symbol before. Is this net force?

Well dangit... I guess I got that one wrong then!

This is what I got: TLsin(53o) + TRsin(37o) - 294 N= 0 TRcos(37o) - TLcos(53o) = 0 TR = TLcos(53o)/cos(37o) TLsin(53o) + TRsin(37o) - 294N= 0 TLsin(53o) + {TLcos(53o)/cos(37o)}sin(37o) - 294 = 0 TLsin(53o) + TLcos(53o)tan(37o) = 294N TL(sin(53o) + cos(53o)tan(37o)) = 294N TL...

It tips because the guy sits on the edge and disturbs the balance (changes the center of gravity). I still have no idea how what equation I should be using.

Homework Statement How Close to the edge of a 20kg table, can a 66kg person sit without tipping it over? The table is 2.2m long and there are two legs placed 0.5 m from each end of the table with 1.2 meters between the two legs and the top of the table is 0.80 m tall Homework Equations...
