Two builders carry a sheet of drywall up a ramp. Assume that
W=1.80m,L=3.30m,\theta =22.0\deg
, and that the lead builder carries a (vertical) weight of
137.0N(30.8lb)
. What is the (vertical) weight carried by the builde at the rear?

Tries 5/99 Previoús Tries The builder at the rear gets tired and suggest that the drywall should be held by its narrow side. What is the weight (in N ) he must now carry? 295.52 N From the previous problem, you know how much each bullder carries. Therfore you know the total weight. Set the sum of the torques about the front lower corner to 0 , so that you do not need to know the weight carried by the bullder in front.
