Answer:
m = 170 g
Explanation:
Meter stick is suspended at 40 cm mark
So here the torque due to additional mass and torque due to weight of the spring must be counter balanced
given that
1) 220 g is suspended at x = 5 cm
2) 120 g is suspended at x = 90 cm
3) mass of the scale is acting at its mid point i.e. x = 50 cm
now with respect to the suspension point the torque must be balanced
so we have


by solving above equation we have
m = 170 g
the answer is 5 m up AKA "B"
Since the device is a speedometer, the data it read is the speed of the racecar. Data recording involving time usually uses time as the independent variable. It was also said in the problem that it records the speed every second which shows that the time interval is constant. This means that only other data, the car's speed, is the dependent variable.
It is not an example of kinetic to potential because the dog is already in motion rather then having the potential to do something. Hope this helps!
let me know!! i need the same answer,
