Question

A 495 kg uniform beam is suspended by a vertically hanging rope at each end. The beam is tipped at an angle of 25.0 degrees with respect to the horizontal. A 105 kg construction worker stands at the very left end of the beam, as shown in the diagram below

A)) Let the system be the worker and the beam. On the diagram, label all of the external forces acting on the system, using arrows. 

(b) Find the tension in the rope on the right side of the beam. Give your answer in Newtons. Assume the system is in static equilibrium

c) Find the tension in the rope on the left side of the beam. Give your answer in Newtons. Assume the system is in static equilibrium.

The diagram depicts a stick figure standing on an inclined beam suspended by two ropes. The beam is positioned at an angle of 25.0 degrees from the horizontal plane. The left end of the beam is on the ground, while the right end is elevated. The angle indicates the steepness of the incline, with the measure (25.0°) clearly labeled at the base of the beam near the figure. The ropes suggest points of suspension beyond the visible portion of the diagram.
