Question

Please help me. This is the question.

A diver weighing 500N is positioned at the right end of a diving board with a length of 4m and negligible weight. The board is bolted down at the left end while being supported 1.5 m away from the fulcrum.

a.)Find the forces F1 and F2 that the bolt and the fulcrum , respectively exert on the board
500 *4 = fulcrum force * 1.5

fulcrum force = 500 *4/1.5

force up = fulcrum force
force down = 500 + bolt force-
so
bolt force = fulcrum force - 500
