QUESTION:

A diving board \(3.00 \mathrm{~m}\) long is supported at a point \(1.00 \mathrm{~m}\) from the end, and a diver weighing \(500 \mathrm{~N}\) stands at the free end (Fig. E11.11). The diving board is of uniform cross section and weighs \(280 \mathrm{~N}\). Find (a) the force at the support point and (b) the force at the left-hand end.

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 3

 

Introduction

In this question, we have a diving board and diver we need to find the force at the supporting point end of the board and at the left-hand end of the board

Data given

Length of the diving board \(L=3.0 \mathrm{~m}\)

Support point \(L_{s}=1.0 \mathrm{~m}\)

Weight of the diver \(W_{d}=500 \mathrm{~N}\)

Weight of the board \(W_{b}=280 \mathrm{~N}\)

Considering the figure given
