Answer: 3 m.
Explanation:
Neglecting the mass of the seesaw, in order the seesaw to be balanced, the sum of the torques created by gravity acting on both children must be 0.
As we are asked to locate Jack at some distance from the fulcrum, we can take torques regarding the fulcrum, which is located at just in the middle of the length of the seesaw.
If we choose the counterclockwise direction as positive, we can write the torque equation as follows (assuming that Jill sits at the left end of the seesaw):
mJill* 5m -mJack* d = 0
60 kg*5 m -100 kg* d =0
Solving for d:
d = 3 m.
Noble gasses ( insert gases)
The answer is False. Simple machines are divided into three main categories, and not two. They are Levers, inclined planes and Pulleys. <span>These three simple machines all change force in such a way that it makes it easier for us to move an object. </span>
4200 N is the tension in the cable that pulls the elevator upwards.
The correct option is A.
<h3>What does tension ?</h3>
Tension is the force that is sent through a rope, thread, or wire whenever two opposing forces pull on it. Along the whole length of the wire, the tensile stress pulls equally on all objects at the ends. Every physical object that comes into contact with that other one exerts force on it.
<h3>Briefing:</h3>
We employ the following formula to determine the cable's tension.
Formula:
T = mg+ma............ Equation 1
Where:
T is the cable's tension.
M = Mass of the elevator and the Joey
Accelerating with a
g = Gravitational acceleration
Considering the query,
Given:
m = (300+60) = 360 kg
a = 2 m/s²
g = 9.8 m/s²
Substitute these values into equation 2
T = (360×9.8)+(360×2)
T = 3528+720
T = 4248 N
T ≈ 4200 to the nearest hundred.
