Answer:
...
Explanation:
Torque = 35.60 N.m (rounded off to 3 significant figures.
Given details:
The mass of the rock on the left, ms = 2.25 kg
The total mass of the rocks, mp = 10.1 kg
The distance from the fulcrum to the center of the pile of rocks, rp = 0.360 m
(a) The torque produced by the pile of rock, T = F*rp = m*g*rp
Torque = 9.8*0.360*10.1 = 35.6328
Torque = 35.60 N.m (rounded off to 3 significant figures).
Answer: attached
T = 2π √ (m/k)
T / 2π = √ (m/k)
T√k = 2π √m
(T√k) / 2π = √m
( (T√k) / 2π)^2 = m
m = ( (7.5√82.5) / 2π)^2
m = 117.66 Kg
