Question

Help ASAP). Draw additional masses to show how the block can be made to move toward point A. Be sure to draw the string and label the mass of the block. For full credit, draw the minimum number of blocks required to make the block move toward point A.​ Will Mark Brainliest​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given that the block have two applied masses 250 g at East and 100 g at South. In order to make a situation in which block moves towards point A, we have to apply minimum number of masses to the blocks. In order to prevent block moving toward East, we have to apply a mass at West, equal to the magnitude of mass at East but opposite in direction. Therefore, mass of 250 g at West is the required additional mass that has to be added. There is already 100 g of mass acting at South, that will attract block towards South or point A. No need to add further mass in North-South direction.
