Answer:
The solution and the explanation are in the Explanation section.
Explanation:
According to the diagram that is in the attached image, the EFFORT force at point A and the load is at O point. The torque due to weight is:
TA = W * (a * cosθ)
The torque due to effort at C point is:
TC = E * (b * cosθ)
The net torque is equal to 0, we have:
Tnet = 0
W * (a * cosθ) - E * (b * cosθ) = 0
From the figure, you can observe that a/b < 1, thus E < W
Answer:
The answer is 0.83 seconds.
Explanation:
The formula of free fall is following:
Where g=9.8 m/s^2 and t=2 seconds, the rock takes:
19.6 meters. This is the half distance of the cliff. The whole distance is 39.2 meters. So it takes:
2.83 second to fall down completely. The rock takes the second half of the cliff in 0.83 seconds
