1. We are not allowed by the forum's rules to solve problems. We can help you, but you need to demonstrate some effort on your part.

2. The link requires a valid account, which I doubt many people around here have there. You might want to make this problem more accessible if you need help with it.

Can you draw a free body diagram of the plank and the student standing on it?

Do you know what conditions are necessary for static equilibrium?
