A fisherman has caught a fish on his pole, and to keep the pole steady he has to apply an upward force of F2 = 235 N at an angle of 60.5° with respect to the pole (see figure). The length of his pole is 3.5 m, and he is holding it a distance 0.45 m from the end, where he is applying a downward force F1.
