I think it would be Newton’s second law
Answer:
Part a)

Part b)

Part c)

Part d)
from t = 0 to t = 4.9 s
so the reading of the scale will be same as that of weight of the block
Then its speed will reduce to zero in next 3.2 s
from t = 4.9 to t = 8.1 s
The reading of the scale will be less than the actual mass
Explanation:
Part a)
When elevator is ascending with constant speed then we will have



So it will read same as that of the mass

Part b)
When elevator is decending with constant speed then we will have



So it will read same as that of the mass

Part c)
When elevator is ascending with constant speed 39 m/s and acceleration 10 m/s/s then we will have



Reading is given as



Part d)
Here the speed of the elevator is constant initially
from t = 0 to t = 4.9 s
so the reading of the scale will be same as that of weight of the block
Then its speed will reduce to zero in next 3.2 s
from t = 4.9 to t = 8.1 s
The reading of the scale will be less than the actual mass
Answer:
m=57.65 kg
Explanation:
Given Data
Ricardo mass m₁=80 kg
Canoe mass m₂=30 kg
Canoe Length L= 3 m
Canoe moves x=40 cm
When Canoe was at rest the net total torque is zero.
Let the center of mass is at x distance from the canoe center and it will be towards the Ricardo cause. So the toque around the center of mass is given as

We have to find m₂.To find the value of m₂ first we need figure out the value of.As they changed their positions the center of mass moved to other side by distance 2x.
so
2x=40
x=40/2
x=20 cm
Substitute in the above equation we get
