Statics Problems In Exercises 7 and 8 , consider a beam of length $L$ with a fulcrum $x$ feet from one end (see figure). There are objects with weights $W_{1}$ and $W_{2}$ placed on opposite ends of the beam. Find $x$ such that the system is in equilibrium. $$ \begin{array}{l}{\text { In order to move a } 600 \text { -pound rock, a person weighing }} \\ {200 \text { pounds wants to balance it on a beam that is } 5 \text { feet long. }}\end{array} $$

Particle Statics Problems Draw a free body diagram for each problem and provide solutions for the indicated quantities. Problem 3. Ropes AB and AC are attached to a boater whose canoe has capsized. If α = 25° and the magnitude of the force FR exerted by the flowing water on the boater is 70 lb, determine (a) the tension in rope AB (b) the tension in rope AC
