Two children of mass 27 kg and 51 kg sit balanced on a seesaw with the pivot point located at the center of the seesaw. If the c

hildren are separated by a distance of 4 m, at what distance from the pivot point is the small child sitting in order to maintain the balance?

Answer:

2.62 m

Explanation:

Let the small child sit at a distance x from the pivot.

The distance of big child from the pivot is 4 - x .

By using the concept of moments.

Clockwise moments = anticlockwise moments

27 x = 51 ( 4 - x )

27 x = 204 - 51 x

78 x = 204

x = 2.62 m

In the following figure, if AB ǁ CD, then find the measure of PCD and CPD.​
mina [271]

Answer:

CPD = 80

PCD = 44

Explanation:

Given

AB || CD

BAD = 56

CPA = 100

See attachment

Required

Determine PCD and CPD

First, we need to calculate CPD

Since DPA is a straight line and CPA = 100;

We have that:

CPA + CPD = 180 --- angle on a straight theorem

Substitute 100 for CPA

100 + CPD = 180

Subtract 100 from both sides

100-100 + CPD = 180-100

CPD = 80

Next, we calculate PCD

We have that:

DAB= ADC = 56  --alternate angle

In triangle PCD

PCD + CPD + PDC = 180 --- angles in a triangle

Where

PDC = ADC = 56

So, we have:

PCD +80 + 56 = 180

PCD +136 = 180

Subtract 136 from both sides

PCD = 180 - 136

PCD = 44

Compare and contrast the two different types of mechanical waves?
prohojiy [21]
There are longitudinal and transverse.  Both types of mechanical waves require a medium, transport energy, and have defined wavelengths, frequencies, and speeds.
Differences are that transverse waves oscillate along a direction perpendicular to the direction of travel (like shaking a rope up and down).  Longitudinal waves like oscillations along a spring and sound waves, oscillate back and forth along the direction of travel.
