Base SI unit is the unit that used for simple quantity like time=second and length= meter. They only have one unit.
Derived unit is more complex because you multiply or divide at least two base SI, making it have more than 1 unit. The example could be velocity which was time/length = m/s

A seesaw has an irregularly distributed mass of 50 kg, a length of 3.0 m, and a fulcrum beneath its midpoint. It is balanced whe

Simora [160]

Answer:

$d_{CM} = 0.78 m$

Explanation:

given,

mass of seesaw,m= 50 kg

length of seesaw, d = 3 m

mass of person on one end, m₁ = 60 Kg

mass of person on another end, m₂ = 86 Kg

position of center of mass = ?

System is in equilibrium

Clockwise moment is equal to anticlockwise moment.

$m_1 g\dfrac{d}{2} + m g d_{CM} = m_2 g \dfrac{d}{2}$

$m_1 d + 2 m d_{CM} = m_2 d$

$d_{CM} = \dfrac{m_2 d-m_1 d}{2 m}$

$d_{CM} = \dfrac{86\times 3 - 60\times 3}{2\times 50}$

$d_{CM} = 0.78 m$

hence, the position of center of mass from the fulcrum is 0.78 m on 60 Kg mass side.

The dimensions of the disk of our milky way galaxy are:.

Katen [24]

Answer:

According to studies, the milky way is approximately, "170,000–200,000 light-years (52–61 kpc) in diameter and, on average, approximately 1,000 ly (0.3 kpc) thick."

With that being said, it is safe to say that the dimensions are somewhere around 100,000 by 1,000
