Context Rich Problem, Show your work and reasoning. Torque: The automatic flag raisirg system on a horizontal f a tall building has become stuck. The management of the building wants to send a person crawling out along the flagpole to fix the problem. Because of your physics knowledge, you have been asked to with a group to decide whether or not this is possible. You are all too aware that no 250 foot fall from the flagpole to the ground. The flagpole is a 120 lb steel I-beam which is very strong and rigid. One side of the flagpole is attached to the wall of the building by a hinge so that it can rotate vertically. Nine feet away, the other end of the flagpole is attached to a strong, lightweight cable. T cable goes up from the flagpole at an angle of 30° until it reaches the building where it is bolted to the wall. The mechanic who will climb out on the flagpole weighs 150 lbs including equipment. From the specifications of the building construction, both the bolt attaching the cable to the building and the hinge have been tested to hold a force of 500 lbs. Your boss has decided that the worst case is when the mechanic is at the far end of the flagpole, nine feet from the building. flagpole attached to the vertical outside wall of one could survive the
