Question

a person weighing 500 N leans against a wall at a 60 degreeangle from the ground with only the head touching the wall and feettouching the ground. The person's C.O.G. is 1.1 m from theirfeet (1.5m total height) What is the force of the wall acting ontheir head? And what are the forces (vertical and horiz.)acting on their shoes by the ground? I'm pretty sure my answers are wrong, Please help a person weighing 500 N leans against a wall at a 60 degreeangle from the ground with only the head touching the wall and feettouching the ground.
