distance of each pan from the center or fulcrum is given as

r = 23.15 cm

now if dishonest shopkeeper shifted it by 0.633 cm from center

so distance on each side is given as

d_1 = 23.15 - 0.633 = 22.52 cm

d_2 = 23.15 + 0.633 = 23.78 cm

now the weight is balance as

W_1d_1 = W_2d_2

W(22.52) = W_2(23.78)

now we will have

W_2 = 0.95W

now we can find the percentage change as

percentage = \frac{W - W_2}{W} \times 100

percentage = 5%

3. Pencils should not be used inside the computer to change the setting of switches or to
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer: True

Explanation:

Pencils indeed should not be used as tools when working inside a computer because it is made of Lead.

Lead is a conductor of electricity and as such if it is left inside the computer at even miniscule quantities, it can redirect electricity and damage components in the process.

If one wants to work inside a computer, it is best to use tools like tweezers and needle-nose pliers.

QUESTION 3 ( MARKS]
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

392 N

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram of the rod.  There are four forces acting on the rod:

At the wall, you have horizontal and vertical reaction forces, Rx and Ry.

At the other end of the rod (point X), you have the weight of the sign pointing down, mg.

Also at point X, you have the tension in the wire, T, pulling at an angle θ from the -x axis.

Sum of the moments at the wall:

∑τ = Iα

(T sin θ) L − (mg) L = 0

T sin θ − mg = 0

T = mg / sin θ

Given m = 20 kg and θ = 30.0°:

T = (20 kg) (9.8 m/s²) / (sin 30.0°)

T = 392 N
