When Marcel finds the distance L from the previous part, it turns out to be greater than Lend, the distance from the pivot to th

e end of the seesaw. Hence, even with Jacques at the very end of the seesaw, the twins Gilles and Jean exert more torque than Jacques does. Marcel now elects to balance the seesaw by pushing sideways on an ornament (shown in red) that is at height h above the pivot. (Figure 3)With what force in the rightward direction, Fx, should Marcel push? If your expression would give a negative result (using actual values) that just means the force should be toward the left.Express your answer in terms of W, Lend, w, L2, L3, and h.

Answer:

Fx = - (1/h)( wL2 + wL3 - wLend )

Explanation:

Assuming The twins Gilles and Jean has a weight ( w ) each

The torque that would balance the equation would be = wL2 + wL3 -------- 1

THEREFORE the ccw torques are = wLend + Fh ----------- 2

hence equation 2 equals equation 1

= wLend + Fh = wL2 + wL3 --------- 3

equation 3 can as well be represented as

F = ( 1/h) ( wL2 + wL3 - wLend )---------- 4

From equation 4 it can be seen that F is on the left hand side therefore the value of Fx is negative

therefore equation 4 is represented as

 Fx = - (1/h)( wL2 + wL3 - wLend )

What is inertia and how is it related to the newton's first law of motion?
Alina [70]

Answer:

Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to any change in its velocity. This includes changes to the object's speed, or direction of motion. An aspect of this property is the tendency of objects to keep moving in a straight line at a constant speed, when no forces act upon them.

Explanation:

Some sort of a local field, maybe not our A field, is really the cause of inertia. When you push on an object a gravitational disturbance goes propagating off into either the past or the future. Out there in the past or future the disturbance makes the distant matter in the universe wiggle.

Describe the movement of air over 2 nearby land areas, one of which is heated more than the other.
77julia77 [94]
In this case, the air from the warm area will always start moving towards the colder areas because as the temperature in both lands should be equal. This is one of the laws of thermodynamics.
