A man of weight Wman is standing on the second floor and is pulling on a rope to lift a box of weight Wbox from the floor below. The rope, which is of negligible weight, has tension T in it, but the pull of the rope is insufficient to lift the box off the floor. What is the magnitude of the normal force that the second floor exerts on the man in this situation?
a. Wman
b. Wman + T
c. Wman + T + a nonzero portion of Wbox d. Wman + T + Wbox
b
