A woman whose weight is 530 N is poised at the right end of a diving board, whose length is 3.90 m. The board has negligible weight and is bolted down at the left end, while being supported 1.40 m away by a fulcrum, as the drawing shows. Find the forces F₁ and F₂ that the bolt and the fulcrum, respectively, exert on the board.
