A 75 kg rock climber is attached to a rope that is allowing her to hang horizontally with her feet against the wall. The tension in the rope is 825 N and the rope makes a 35 degree angle with the vertical. Determine the force exerted by the wall on the climbers feet.

Answer 1

Force exerted by the wall on the climber's feet = (825 N * cos 35°) = 717.5 N
