From britaññica it said time and money. They didn’t have either to switch over from the industrial period and never did. Also from my own person reasoning i think most of the world uses not US customary, so to make stuff more accessible. hope this helps!
When the ruler is broughı near the inetal knob, it repels electrons in the metal. Electrons move away froni the ruler and down the metal rod. The knob now has a positive charge. The thin pieces of metal foil at the bottom of the metal rod now have a negative charge.
If an equation is dimensionally correct, it does not mean that the equation must be true. On the other hand, when the equation is dimensionally correct, the equation cannot be true. Dimensional analysis is a technique used to check whether a relationship is correct
Answer:
x = 0.974 L
Explanation:
given,
length of inclination of log = 30°
mass of log = 200 Kg
rock is located at = 0.6 L
L is the length of the log
mass of engineer = 53.5 Kg
let x be the distance from left at which log is horizontal.
For log to be horizontal system should be in equilibrium
∑ M = 0
mass of the log will be concentrated at the center
distance of rock from CM of log = 0.1 L
now,
∑ M = 0



x = 0.974 L
hence, distance of the engineer from the left side is equal to x = 0.974 L
