Two kids hang by their hands from the same tree branch. The branch is straight, and grows out from the tree trunk at an angle of 28.7° above the horizontal. One kid, with a mass of 47.6 kg, is hanging1.31 m along the branch from the tree trunk. The other kid, with a mass of 33.3 kg, is hanging 2.19 m from the tree trunk. Find the magnitude of the net torque exerted on the branch by the kids? Assume that the axis is placed where the branch joins the tree trunk and is perpendicular to the plane formed by the trunk and the branch.
