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?

Explanation:
The acceleration due to gravity g is defined as
and solving for R, we find that
We need the mass M of the planet first and we can do that by noting that the centripetal acceleration experienced by the satellite is equal to the gravitational force
or
The orbital velocity <em>v</em> is the velocity of the satellite around the planet defined as
where <em>r</em><em> </em>is the radius of the satellite's orbit in meters and <em>T</em> is the period or the time it takes for the satellite to circle the planet in seconds. We can then rewrite Eqn(2) as
Solving for <em>M</em>, we get
Putting this expression back into Eqn(1), we get
Heat required to change the phase of ice is given by
Q = m* L
here
m = mass of ice
L = latent heat of fusion
now we have
m = 45 kg
L = 334 KJ/kg
now by using above formula
In KJ we can convert this as
so the correct answer is D option
