Two students use a uniform slab of wood (mass= 10 Kg, length = 2.0m) in order to move a delicate but heavy piece of lab equipment (mass = 55 kg). The piece of equipment is placed 0.35 m from one of the students (note: one of the students is stronger than the other, but they succeed in keeping the slab perfectly level).
Find the force that the student nearest to the load applies to the slab:
