Answer:
The work done is 205 kJ.
Explanation:
Hi there!
Work can be calculated using the following equation:
W = F · Δx
Where:
W = work
F = applied force
Δx = displacement
In this case, the force varies with the position, so we can divide the traveled distance in very small parts and calculate the work done over each part of the trajectory. Then, we have to sum all the works and we will obtain the work done from the initial position (xi) to the final position (xf). This is the same as saying:
W = ∫ F · dx
F = 3.6 N/m³ · x³ - 76 N
W = ∫ (3.6 x³ - 76)dx
W = 0.9 x⁴ - 76x
Evaluating from xi to xf:
W = 0.9 N/m³ (21.9 m)⁴ - 76 N · 21.9 m - 0.9 N/m³(5.41 m)⁴ + 76 N · 5.41 m
W = 205 kJ
To solve the problem it is necessary to use Newton's second law and statistical equilibrium equations.
According to Newton's second law we have to

where,
m= mass
g = gravitational acceleration
For the balance to break, there must be a mass M located at the right end.
We will define the mass m as the mass of the body, located in an equidistant center of the corners equal to 4m.
In this way, applying the static equilibrium equations, we have to sum up torques at point B,

Regarding the forces we have,

Re-arrange to find M,



Therefore the maximum additional mass you could place on the right hand end of the plank and have the plank still be at rest is 16.67Kg
Potential energy is highest at the top of the loop, and kinetic energy is highest at the bottom of the loop.
Autosomes are homologous chromosomes i.e. chromosomes which contain the same genes (regions of DNA) in the same order along their chromosomal arms. The chromosomes of the 23rd pair are called allosomes consisting of two X chromosomes in most females, and an X chromosome and a Y chromosome in most males.
