Answer:
- 256 lbs
Explanation:
The internal axial load at point D can be calculated as the change in the subjected loads. if the magnitude of the horizontal direction = zero
; Then:
internal axial load at point D = Δ P
= -(P₂ - P₁)
= - ( 888 lbs - 632 lbs)
= - 256 lbs
Answer:middle
Explanation:
Because it will make the seasaw balanced
∑F = ma = (90 kg)(1.2 m/s²) = 108 N = 100 N (1 significant digit)
