Answer:
a
The torque produced by the pile of rocks is
b
The distance of the single for equilibrium to occur is
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The mass of the left rock is
The mass of the rock on the right
The distance from fulcrum to the center of the pile of rocks is
Generally the torque produced by the pile of rock is mathematically represented as
Substituting values
Generally we can mathematically evaluated the distance of the the single rock that would put the system in equilibrium as follows
The torque due to the single rock is
At equilibrium the both torque are equal
Making the subject of the formula
Substituting values
Answer:
(a) 490 N on earth
(b) 80 N on earth
(c) 45.4545 kg on earth
(d) 270.27 kg on moon
Explanation:
We have given 1 kg = 9.8 N = 2.2 lbs on earth
And 1 kg = 1.6 N = 0.37 lbs on moon
(a) We have given mass of the person m = 50 kg
As it is given that 1 kg = 9.8 N
So 50 kg = 50×9.8 =490 N
(b) Mass of the person on moon = 50 kg
As it is given that on moon 1 kg = 1.6 N
So 50 kg = 50×1.6 = 80 N
(c) We have given that weight of the person on the earth = 100 lbs
As it is given that 1 kg = 2.2 lbs on earth
So 100 lbs = 45.4545 kg
(d) We have given weight of the person on moon = 100 lbs
As it is given that 1 kg = 0.37 lbs
So 100 lbs
