Kurlovich's mass at the time was 133 kg. caculate the normal force exerted on each of his feet during the time he. was having ldi g the barbell

Respuesta :

The free-body diagram of your question is; 2 downward forces (253 kg mass of barbell & 133 kg body mass of Kurlovich) acting together on a point supported by 2 upward forces as normal forces exerted by Kurlovich's feet.  

Solving the normal forces exerted by 2 feet :  

Summation of Forces Vertical = 0  

2 Dowwnard Forces = 2 Upward Forces (2F)  

253 + 133 = 2F  

2F = 386 Kgs  

F = 386 / 2  

F = 193 Kgs (Normal Force Exerted by Each Foot)
