Q.

A 56kg climber is supported in the ‘chimney’ by the friction forces exerted on his shoes and back as shown in fig. The static coefficients of friction between his shoes and the wall, and between his back and the wall are 0.80 and 0.60 respectively. Assume the walls are vertical and that frictional forces are maximum. The minimum normal force (in Newton) he must exerts is (take g = 10 m/s2)

From free body diagrams x– component 

 NsNw=0   Ns=Nw
y – component 

 fs+fwmg=0 

The minimum normal force will be exerted when the static friction forces are at limit (0.8 + 0.6) N = 56x10 N = 400 N
