Answer:
(a) 218.6 N
(b) 97.14 N
Step-by-step explanation:
When the system is in equilibrium, the net torque on the system is zero.
AC = 1.5 m, CD = 2.3 m, DB = 5 - 1.5 - 2.3 = 1.2 m
Let the centre of gravity of plank is at G.
AG = 2.5 m, CG = 2.5 - 1.5 = 1 m, GB = 2.5 m
(a) Let the reaction at C is R and at D is R'.
R + R' = 29 x 9.8 = 284.2 N ... (1)
Take the torque about C.
29 x 9.8 x CG = R' x GD
29 x 9.8 x 1 = R' x 1.3
R' = 218.6 N
(b) Take the torque about D.
6 x 9.8 x AD = R x CD
6 x 9.8 x (1.5 + 2.3) = R x 2.3
R = 97.14 N
Every number that has 0 as last digit and isn't decimal number, can be divided by 10 without remainder. It works for both positive or negative numbers. If last digit is different from 0, you will have remainder equal to that last digit. Even number 0 is divisible by 10 (the answer is 0 of course) because its last and only digit is 0.
Cafeteria ratio of Swiss cheese to cheddar cheese is 15:17.
Perry’s ratio of Swiss chess to cheddar cheese is 5:7.
Wrong ratio because 5 * 3 = 15 but 7 * 3 does not equal 17.
