To make extra money during the summer, Mr. Milgrim, a 660-N physics teacher, paints the outside of houses while sitting on a 40-N plank suspended by two vertical cables. What is the tension in each of the two cables?
660N+40N=700N
700N/2=350N =)
660+40= 700N
700/2=350N
660 N + 40 N = 700 N (total)
700 N / 2 = 350 N
350N
