Boyle's law is modeled by the equation p1v1=p2v2.
We are given that,

We need to find
when 
The equation that relates x and
can be written as,


Differentiating each side with respect to t, we get,



Replacing the value of the velocity


The value of
could be found if we know the length of the beam. With this value the equation can be approximated to the relationship between the sides of the triangle that is being formed in order to obtain the numerical value. If this relation is known for the value of x = 6ft, the mathematical relation is obtained. I will add a numerical example (although the answer would end in the previous point) If the length of the beam was 10, then we would have to

Answer:
Explanation:
To stop a ball with high momentum in a small-time imparts a high amount of impact on hands. This is the reason for the stinging of hands.
The momentum of the ball is due to the mass and velocity. To prevent stinging in the hand one needs to lower his hands to increase the time of contact. In this way, the momentum transfer to the hands will be lesser.
I think the answer is D the 30 kg sofa
