We can solve the problem by requiring the equilibrium of the forces and the equilibrium of torques.

1) Equilibrium of forces:
T_1 - W_p - W_s + T_2 =0
where
W_p = (90kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=883 N is the weight of the person
W_s = (200kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=1962 N is the weight of the scaffold
Re-arranging, we can write the equation as
T_1 = 2845 N-T_2 (1)

2) Equilibrium of torques:
T_1 \cdot 3 m - W_p \cdot 2 m - T_2 \cdot 3m =0
where 3 m and 2 m are the distances of the forces from the center of mass of the scaffold.
Using W_p = 883 N and replacing T1 with (1), we find
2845 N \cdot 3 m - T_2 \cdot 3 m - 833 N \cdot 2 m - T_2 \cdot 3 m=0
from which we find
T_2 = 1128 N

And then, substituting T2 into (1), we find
T_1 = 1717 N

The dorsal body cavity is divided into which two cavities?
Mademuasel [1]

Answer: the dorsal cavity

Explanation:

Dorsal body cavity is the body cavity in the human body which is located posteriorly and it comprises of two type of body cavities that are cranial and the spinal. The cranial cavity is formed inside the skull and it protects the vital organ brain inside the bony protection and the spinal cavity houses the spinal cord. Thoracic cavity and pelvic cavity are the ventral cavities that means they are present in the front of the body.

A uniform magnetic field B=5.210 T is perpendicular to the plane of the paper (into the page). The current-carrying wire of valu
ehidna [41]

Answer:5.21 N

Explanation:

Given

B=5.210 T

I=2 A

L=0.5 m

Given Wire is perpendicular to Magnetic field

\theta =90^{\circ}

F=IL\times B

F=BIL sin\theta

F=5.210\cdot 2\cdot 0.5 sin(90)

F=5.210 N

as  1 Tesla =1 N/A/m

A car accelerates from rest to a speed 20 m/s in 12 s. Find the distance the car travels this time
Andrew [12]
The first thing we need to do is figure out what equation to use. We will use the following kinematic equation...

Δx = (final velocity + initial velocity) x time / 2

We know that the car accelerates from rest, so initial velocity = 0 m/s
We also know final velocity = 20 m/s and time = 12s

Now we just need to plug everything in.

Δx = (20 x 12)/2 = 120 meters
