The whole point of this problem is to check how well you understand
the definitions of a few important quantities, like velocity, speed, distance,
displacement etc.
Before we begin, I just want to mention that 'MPG' is not a unit of either
velocity or speed, but I think I know what you mean.
-- For some reason, Ms. Eaddy rode 100 miles north on the train, then
stayed aboard while the train turned around and took her 150 miles south.
The total distance she rode was (100 + 150) = 250 miles. But she ended up
50 miles south of where she began.
-- Displacement for the whole trip = distance and direction from the start point
to the finish point.
Displacement = 50 miles south
-- Average velocity = (displacement) / (time)
50 miles south / 3.5 hours = <u>14.29 miles per hour south</u>
Complete Question
The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image
Answer:
Explanation:
From he question we are told that
The first mass is 
The second mass is 
From the question we can see that at equilibrium the moment about the point where the string holding the bar (where
are hanged ) is attached is zero
Therefore we can say that

Making x the subject of the formula



Looking at the diagram we can see that the tension T on the string holding the bar where
are hanged is as a result of the masses (
)
Also at equilibrium the moment about the point where the string holding the bar (where (
) and
are hanged ) is attached is zero
So basically


Making
subject
