It is true. Guptas did figure out the earth was round by observing lunar eclipses.
His balance will be $6 because -19 - 35 = -54, he added 60 to the -54 so that makes 6 or $6
1) Never heard of someone referring to the Law of Levers before, must be showing my age. A system as you describe is at equilibrium when the net torque is equal to zero. Since torque is Fr=mgr so for this system we have a sum of:
27g*10+30g*x=0 The sum must be zero to be at equilibrium, dividing both sides by g you have:
270+30x=0
270=-30x
x=-9
The negative just indicates that the magnitude of 9 is on the opposite side of the fulcrum, so x=9ft in magnitude.
2) Inverse variation is of the form y=k/x, in this case we are given a point so we can solve for the constant, k, of variation...
y=k/x, and we are given y=-12 when x=5 so
-12=k/5
k=-60 so the equation is:
y=-60/x which can be expressed as
xy=-60
To find a specific percent of the number, first find the smallest scale division of the designated percent, or 1%. To find 1% of 13,530, divide it by 100, which yields 135.30. Then, multiply this 135.30 by 6 to find 6%. This comes out to 811.8.
Hope this helps.
The correct answer would be c but im not sure im really right
