Homework Statement
A woman whose weight is w = 500 N is poised at the right end of a diving board with a length of Lw = 3.90 . The board has negligible weight and is bolted down at the left end, while being supported L2 = 1.40 m away by a fulcrum, as figure shows. Find Forces F1 and F2 that the
bolt and the fulcrum, respectively, exert on the board.
Homework Equations
T= rFsin(theta)
The Attempt at a Solution
Since there are two unknown forces, can i solve for them separately, assuming the axis of rotation is different in each?
to solve for F1 i would have that the fulcrum in the axis of rotation, assuming F2 is 0 for acting on the axis of rotation. and for F2 i would have the fulcrum at the bolt...
