Answer:
Scientists have studied eclipses since ancient times. Aristotle observed that the Earth's shadow has a circular shape as it moves across the moon. He posited that this must mean the Earth was round. Another Greek astronomer named Aristarchus used a lunar eclipse to estimate the distance of the Moon and Sun from Earth
Answer:
Explanation:
m = ρV = 1.03( 1000 kg/m³)(π(2² m²)(3.0 m)) = 12360π kg
m ≈ 38,830 kg
Answer:
xcritical = d− m1
/m2

Explanation: the precursor to this question will had been this
the precursor to the question can be found online.
ff the mass of the block is too large and the block is too close to the left end of the bar (near string B) then the horizontal bar may become unstable (i.e., the bar may no longer remain horizontal). What is the smallest possible value of x such that the bar remains stable (call it xcritical)
. from the principle of moments which states that sum of clockwise moments must be equal to the sum of anticlockwise moments. aslo sum of upward forces is equal to sum of downward forces
smallest possible value of x such that the bar remains stable (call it xcritical)
∑τA = 0 = m2g(d− xcritical)− m1g( −d)
xcritical = d− m1
/m2
( L
/2−d)
