For this case we have that by definition, a micrometer is equivalent to a thousandth of a millimeter, that is, 0.001 millimeters.
Then, in other words, we have 0.001 millimeters in a micrometer.
Answer:
In a micrometer there are 0.001 millimeters.
In order to balance the stick on the pivot, the total "moments" must be equal on both sides. A "moment" is (a weight) x (its distance from the center).
for the 5N weight: Moment = (5N) x (3 cm) = 15 N-cm
for the 12N weight: Moment = (12N) x (5 cm) = 60 N-cm
Sum of the moments trying to pull the stick down on that side = 75 N-cm
Whatever we hang on the other side has to provide a moment of 75 N-cm in the other direction. We have a 25N weight. Where should we hang it ?
(25N) x (distance from the pivot) = 75 N-cm
Distance from the pivot = (75 N-cm) / (25 N)
<em>Distance from the pivot = 3 cm </em>
It would need to be over 20 because if the load of the Pulley E is 20 and the effort is 20, then they will be equal and the Pulley would not move, so your answer is at least 20
