The man has a mass of 40 kg. He plans to scale the vertical crevice using the method shown. If the coefficient of static friction between his shoes and the rock is u) = 0.4 and between his backside and the rock, = 0.3, determine the smallest horizontal force his body must exert on the rock in order to do this.
