The document describes a scaffold with two cables holding it up next to a window. The scaffold has a mass of 60 kg and is 5 m long, suspended by cables 1.5 m and 3.5 m from the window. Taking torques about the far end of the scaffold, the tension F1 in the closer cable is calculated to be 8.4 x 102 N. Equilibrium of forces gives F1 + F2 = total weight, which is used with the known F1 to find F2 = 5.3 x 102 N.
