Complete question :
NASA is concerned about the ability of a future lunar outpost to store the supplies necessary to support the astronauts the supply storage area of the lunar outpost where gravity is 1.63m/s/s can only support 1 x 10 over 5 N. What is the maximum WEIGHT of supplies, as measured on EARTH, NASA should plan on sending to the lunar outpost?
Answer:
601000 N
Explanation:
Given that :
Acceleration due to gravity at lunar outpost = 1.6m/s²
Supported Weight of supplies = 1 * 10^5 N
Acceleration due to gravity on the earth surface = 9.8m/s²
Maximum weight of supplies as measured on EARTH :
Ratio of earth gravity to lunar post gravity:
(Earth gravity / Lunar post gravity) ;
(9.8 / 1.63) = 6.01
Hence, maximum weight of supplies as measured on EARTH should be :
6.01 * (1 × 10^5)
6.01 × 10^5
= 601000 N
Answer: 3 m.
Explanation:
Neglecting the mass of the seesaw, in order the seesaw to be balanced, the sum of the torques created by gravity acting on both children must be 0.
As we are asked to locate Jack at some distance from the fulcrum, we can take torques regarding the fulcrum, which is located at just in the middle of the length of the seesaw.
If we choose the counterclockwise direction as positive, we can write the torque equation as follows (assuming that Jill sits at the left end of the seesaw):
mJill* 5m -mJack* d = 0
60 kg*5 m -100 kg* d =0
Solving for d:
d = 3 m.
