Question

A woman who weighs 482 N is leaning against a smooth vertical wall,as the drawing shows. Find (a)the magnitudeof the force FN (directed perpendicular to thewall) exerted on her shoulders by the wall andthe (b) horizontaland (c) vertical components of the forceexerted on her shoes by the ground.

i dont know where to begin, please help

Explanation / Answer

(a) force Fn*1.5*sin60=W*1.1*cos60 ;W=482N => Fn= 204.1 N (b) at equilibrium position the horizontal component of the force exerted on her shoes by theground.F F=Fn=204.1 N (c) the vertical component of the force exerted on her shoes by theground. Fv=W=482 N
