A man of mass 65.2 kg stands on a scaffold supported by a vertical rope at each end. The scaffold has a mass of 22.7 kg and is 2.4 m long. Suppose the man stands to the right from the middle of the scaffold that is a distance one sixth of the length of the scaffold. What is the tension in the left rope?
I already found the tension in the right rope, by doing...
65.2(9.8)(1.6) + (22.7)(9.8)(1.2) - Tr(2.4) = 0
and solving for Tr i got 538 N.
However I am unsure of how to get Tl ?
