A window washer is standing on a scaffold supported by a vertical rope at each end. The scaffold weighs 194 N and is 3.2 m long. What is the tension in each rope when the 696–N worker stands 1.08 m from one end? smaller tension N larger tension N
The torque about the left end of the scaffold due to all the forces will be zero for rotational equilibrium. Also use vertical equilibrium of the scaffold and hence find the required tension as shown below
