A tightrope walker is walking between two buildings holding a pole with length ?=14.5 m and mass ?p =19.5 kg. The daredevil grips the pole with each hand a distance ?=0.590 m from the center of the pole. A bird of mass ?b =565 g lands on the very end of the left‑hand side of the pole. Assuming the daredevil applies upward forces with the left and right hands in a direction perpendicular to the pole, what magnitude of force ?left and ?right must the left and right hand exert to counteract the torque of the bird?

Question

A tightrope walker is walking between two buildings holding a pole with length ?=14.5 m and mass ?p =19.5 kg. The daredevil grips the pole with each hand a distance ?=0.590 m from the center of the pole. A bird of mass ?b =565 g lands on the very end of the left‑hand side of the pole.

Assuming the daredevil applies upward forces with the left and right hands in a direction perpendicular to the pole, what magnitude of force ?left and ?right must the left and right hand exert to counteract the torque of the bird?
