<span>b)Determine your horisontal distance from window (ans. 1.5 m)
c)Calc the speed of ball as you catch it (ans: 8.2m/s)
I dont get what 42 m below the horizontal is, can someone give me direction on how to do this?

If the rod is in rotational equilibrium, then the net torques acting on it is zero:
∑ τ = 0
Let's give the system a counterclockwise orientation, so that forces that would cause the rod to rotate counterclockwise act in the positive direction. Compute the magnitudes of each torque:
• at the left end,
τ = + (50 N) (2.0 m) = 100 N•m
• at the right end,
τ = - (200 N) (5.0 m) = - 1000 N•m
• at a point a distance d to the right of the pivot point,
τ = + (300 N) d
Then
∑ τ = 100 N•m - 1000 N•m + (300 N) d = 0
⇒ (300 N) d = 1100 N•m
⇒ d ≈ 3.7 m
Answer:
684J
Explanation:
So basically the formula for gravitational potential energy is Mass X Gravity X height. That is G.p.e = mgh
We don't have the mass but since we have the height, we multiply directly with the height since the quantity of weight is already given.
so G.p.e = 360 X 1.9 = 684J
Note that; The answer is in joules because g.p.e is work done.
Hope that was helpful!!
