The plank is 5.1 meters long and has a mass of 9.2 kg, ack has a mass of 93.6 kg, and Diane has a mass of 64.2 kg. Assuming Dian
e sits at one end of the plank, how far from his end of the plank should Jack sit for the two of them to be perfectly balanced?

Answer:
2.63 cm
Explanation:
Hooke's law gives that the force F is equal to cy where c is spring constant and x is extension
Making c the subject of the formula then
Since F is gm but taking the given mass to be F
By substitution now considering F to be 3.3 kg
Answer:
24.084 m/s
Explanation:
From the law of conservation of linear momentum
Total momentum before collision equals to the total momentum after collision
Since momentum=mv where m is mass and v is velocity
where
is the mass of the truck,
is velocity of the truck,
is the common velocity of moving and standing truck after collision and
is the mass of the standing truck
Making the subject we obtain
Substituting as 25000 Kg,
as 22.3 m/s,
as 2000 Kg we obtain
Therefore, assuming no friction and considering that after collision they still move eastwards hence common velocity and initial truck velocities are positive
The truck was moving at 24.084 m/s
