(The rope that is hanging from the harness of the climber is NOT in tension)
The forces acting on the climber are:
W: Weight of the climber
T: Tension in the arms, as the climber if leaning backwards and hanging from the wall.
N: Normal force of the wall acting on the climber, as the climber's legs is resting on the holds.
The 3 forces can be rearranged to form a closed triangle such that the climber is in equilibrium.
If W = 500 N, can you determine the N and T forces?
Answer:
T = 300 N and N = 400 N.
