Explanation / Answer

(a) the acrobat of mass 86.5-kg feel others weight acting on him AND HIS WEIGHT!

(68.0 + 62.0 +55.0+86.5) * g =
Ans : 2660.7 N (if g = 9.8)

(b)

including himself ( Pa = N/ m2) (1m2=10000cm2)

(86.5 + 68.0 + 62.0 + 55.0) * g / (0.0445 * 2) 3050.5618 * g

Ans : 29895.5056 Pa (if g = 9.8)
