A trapeze artist and the swing that he sits on weighs 700 N. He is pulled to one side and held there by his partner so that the swings ropes make an angle of 60 degrees with the vertical. What is the horizontal force supplied by the partner?
The answer is 1210 N, but i do not understand how the horizontal force is greater than the magnitude given of 700. Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
