You mean like a box sitting on a table.

One force is the force of gravity, pulling downward on the box.

Now, you know that the forces acting on the box must be balanced, because
if they're not, then the box would be accelerating. But it's just sitting there, so
there must be some other force, just exactly the right strength and direction to
exactly cancel the force of gravity on the box, so that the net force on it is zero.

The other force is the force of the table pushing upward on the box. It's called
the "normal force".

Answer:

x ’= 1,735 m, measured from the far left

Explanation:

For the system to be in equilibrium, the law of rotational equilibrium must be fulfilled.

Let's fix a reference system located at the point of rotation and that the anticlockwise rotations have been positive

They tell us that we have a mass (m1) on the left side and another mass (M2) on the right side,

the mass that is at the left end x = 1.2 m measured from the pivot point, the mass of the right side is at a distance x and the weight of the body that is located at the geometric center of the bar

x_{cm} = 1.2 -1

x_ {cm} = 0.2 m

Σ τ = 0

w₁ 1.2 + mg 0.2 - W₂ x = 0

x = $\frac{m_1 g\ 1.2 \ + m g \ 0.2}{M_2 g}$

x = $\frac{m_1 \ 1.2 \ + m \ 0.2 }{M_2}$

let's calculate

x = $\frac{2.9 \ 1.2 \ + 4 \ 0.2 }{8.00}$ 2.9 1.2 + 4 0.2 / 8

x = 0.535 m

measured from the pivot point

measured from the far left is

x’= 1,2 + x

x'= 1.2 + 0.535

x ’= 1,735 m

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

#See solution for details.

Explanation:

Tools: $stopwatch, \ meter \ stick, \ mass \ measuring \ scale , \ force \ measuring \ device$ .

$Experiment \ 1$ :Calculate the speed of the wave using the time, $t$ it takes to travel along the rope. Rope's length, $L$ is measured using the meter stick.

-Attach one end of rope to a wall or post, shake from the unfixed end to generate a pulse. Measure the the time it takes for the pulse to reach the wall once it starts traveling using the stopwatch.

-Speed of the pulse can then be obtained as:

$v=\frac{L}{t}$

$Experiment \ 2$ : Apply force of known value to the rope then use the following relation equation to find the speed of a pulse that travels on the rope.
