The 150-lb man lies against lies against the cushion for which the coefficient of static friction is 0.5. Determine the resultant normal and frictional forces the cushion exerts on him if, due to rotation about the z axis, he has a constant speed v = 20 ft/s. theta is 60 degrees and the man's center of gravity is 8 ft from center of rotation.
