A woman whose weight is 530 Newtons is standing on the outer edge (right) of a diving board of 3.9 meters length. She is over the water of the pool. The left edge of the board is bolted down to the concrete. A support spring (shown as a fulcrum) is centered 1.4 meters from the left edge. The spring is somewhat compressed by the weight of the woman on the board. Determine the force in the support spring. The system is in static equilibrium
