A person carries a pipe 2.00m long with one hand pushing down on it at one end with a force F1 and the other hand holding it up at 0.500m from the end of the pipe with force F2. If the pipe has a mass of 30.0kg and its center of gravity is at the middle of the pipe, what are the magnitudes of the forces F1 and F2 ? It helps to sketch the forces and their direction at the indicated locations. Also, (hint, hint), it helps to put the pivot point at the location where F1 is applied
