(a) A worker stands a distance d = 0.475 m from the left end of a board as shown in the figure. The board is supported by three lines. Find the tension in each line (in N). Assume the board is uniform, with length L = 2.00 m and mass 27.5 kg, and the weight of the worker is 705 N. (Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations-including answers submitted in WebAssign.) T -2.00 m N = N N (b) What If? The worker now begins to walk to the right. If each of the lines can support a maximum tension of 750 N, which line fails first? line 1 line 2 line 3 At what location does this occur (measured in m from the left end of the board)? m
