Question
Consider the 65.0 kg mountain climber in the figure.
(a) Find the tension in the rope (in N) and the force that the mountain climber must exert with her feet (in N) on the vertical rock face to remain stationary. Assume that the force is exerted parallel to her legs. Also, assume negligible force exerted by her arms.
