A 72 kg person is having a tug-of-war. The rope is horizontal and 1.75 m above the
ground. This person’s center of mass is 1.35 m from the ground when he is in an upright standing
position. If the force his opponent exerts on the rope is 375 N, what angle must the person be from
the horizontal to be in equilibrium? (Assume the knees and hips are not bent).
