If the arborist pulls on the rope with a force of magnitude F = 30.0 N calculate the components of the torque ? with respect to the base P of the tree. The distances in the figure are: d = 12.9 m, h = 1.45 m, s = 5.66 m and r = 8.00 m.Explanation / Answer
please post the figure , unable to answer without figure
