Answer:

T1 = 130N, T2 = 370N

Explanation:

In order for the system to be at rest, the sum of all forces must be zero and the torque around a point on the beam must be zero.

1. forces:

Let tension in rope 1 be T1 and in rope 2 be T2:

ma = T1 + T2 - 100N - 400N = 0

(1) T1 + T2 = 500N

2. torque around the center point of the beam:

τ = r x F = 5*T1 + 3*400N - 5*T2 = 0

(2) T1 - T2 = -240N

Solving both equations:

T1 = 130N

T2 = 370N

<h3>Are stars in the identical cluster?</h3>

Though stellar associations are grouped in with megastar clusters, they're pretty a bit different. "Stellar associations are companies of tens to hundreds of stars that have similar a while and metallicities, and are moving in roughly the equal direction within the galaxy, but are no longer gravitationally bound," Geller said.

What is the frequency of a wave
MAVERICK [17]
The frequency of a wave is the number of waves that passes through a point in a certain time. The less waves that pass in a period of time the lower the frequency of the wave. The more waves that pass in a period of time the higher the frequency of the wave. When measuring wave length the time period used is usually one second.

You are falling off the edge.. What should you do to avoid falling..
Ugo [173]
If it is a matter of which way you are going you could lean forward. It would help to put all the weight opposite of where you are falling.
