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 Molecules can be found in the interstellar medium? A. Water, Carbon dioxide, and Hydrogen. B. Oxygen, Nitrogen and ammonia.
Masteriza [31]
The interstellar medium is the matter as well as the radiations that are found in the galaxies occupying the spaces between the star systems.
Interstellar medium is mainly composed of hydrogen that is followed by helium and trace amounts of nitrogen, oxygen and carbon (considered traces when compared to amount of hydrogen).

Therefor, the right choice is:

In which condition is relative velocity known by adding the velocity od the first body and that of the second body ?​
Softa [21]

Answer:

when a two bodies A and B are moving at an angle 180° with each other then the relative velocity is the sum of bodies the velocity .i.e,

when the bodies move the opposite direction

then their relative velocity is the sum of individual velocities.

A circular track has a radius of 50m.What is the displacement?
stepladder [879]

The displacement of a moving object is the straight-line distance between the place it starts from and the place where it stops.

The displacement of anything moving along a circular track depends on how  far around it goes before it stops.  The greatest displacement it can possibly have is the diameter of the track ... 100m on this particular one ... because that's as far apart as two places on a circle can ever be.

The most interesting case is when the object goes around the circle exactly once.  Then it stops at the same place it started from, the distance between the starting point and ending point is zero, and after all that motion, the displacement is zero.
