Given information
We are given that:-
Mass of the man, .
For equilibrium:
Here, is the mass and is the acceleration.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
The man is in equilibrium, so the net force and the net torque on him must be zero. We use half of his weight and then consider the force just on one hand and one foot, assuming that he is symmetrical,
Use Newton’s second law for vertical forces to find the force on the feet.
