A student stands a distance
d = 0.525 m
from the left end of a plank as shown in the figure. The plank is supported by three ropes. Find the tension in each rope (in N). Assume the plank is uniform, with length L = 2.00 m and mass 27.5 kg, and the weight of the student is 725 N. (Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values—including answers submitted in WebAssign—in your calculations.)

A student stands on a horizontal 2.00 m long plank a distance d from the left end. The plank is supported by three ropes.
A rope at the right end of the plank goes up and right, making a 40.0° angle with the horizontal and applying a force vector T1 on the plank outward along the rope.
A rope at the left end of the plank goes vertically up, applying a force vector T2 on the plank outward along the rope.
A rope at the left end of the plank goes horizontally left, applying a force vector T3 on the plank outward along the rope.
