A 55kg person rests on two crutches. They are in equilibrium. 25% of their weight is supported by the ground. Each crutch is at an angle of 105 degrees. Calculate the magnitude of the force each crutch exerts on the person.
A 15.7 m long board is supported from beneath at two locations.  One is at the far left end of the board.  The other is 1.2 m from the right end of the board.  The board has a mass of 39.7 kg.  What is the normal force (in newtons) applied by the right support?
