Chapter 4: Q89. (page 107)
The 70.0-kg climber in Fig. 4鈥72 is supported in the 鈥渃himney鈥 by the friction forces exerted on his shoes and back. The static coefficients of friction between his shoes and the wall, and between his back and the wall, are 0.80 and 0.60, respectively. What is the minimum normal force he must exert? Assume the walls are vertical and that the static friction forces are both at their maximum. Ignore his grip on the rope.

Short Answer
The obtained value of the minimum force exerted by the climber is .
