Question
A painter stands on a uniform horizontal beam of length L = 6.0 m that is held in equilibrium by support cables attached to the roof as shown in Figure 3. The beam has a weight Wb = 250.0 N and the tensions on the left and the right ends are measured to be Tl = 360.0 N and Tl = 200.0 N respectively. A. Calculate the weight of the painter Wp , and Wb. the distance x where the painter is standing.
