Answer:

2 kg

Explanation:

Note: For the meter stick to be balanced,

Sum of clock wise moment must be equal to sum of anti clock wise moment

Wd = W'd' ................ Equation 1

Where W = weight of the rock, d = distance of the meter stick from the point of support, W' = weight of the that must be suspended for the meter stick to be balanced, d' = distance of the mass to the point of support.

make W' the subject of the equation

W' = Wd/d'............... Equation 2

Taking our moment about the support,

Given: W = mg =  1 ×9.8 = 9.8 N, d = 50 cm, d' = (75-50) = 25 cm

Substitute into equation 2

W' = 9.8(50)/25

W' = 19.6 N.

But,

m = W'/g

m = 19.6/9.8

m = 2 kg.

A vector has a magnitude of 46.0 m and points in a direction 20.0° below the positive x-axis. A second vector, , has a magnitude
irina1246 [14]

Answer with Step-by -step explanation:

We are given that

b.\mid A\mid=46 m

\theta=20^{\circ} below the positive x-axis

Therefore, the angle made by vector A in counter clockwise direction when measure from positive x-axis=x=360-20=340^{\circ}

x-component of vector A=A_x=\mid A\mid cosx=46cos 340=46\times 0.94=43.24

y-Component of vector A=A_y=\mid A\mid sinx=46sin340=46(-0.34)=-15.64

Magnitude of vector B=86 m

The vector B makes angle with positive x- axis=x'=42^{\circ}

x-component of vector B=B_x=86cos42=63.64

y-Component of vector B=B_y=86sin42=57.62

Vector A=A_xi+A_yj=43.24i-15.64j

Vector B=B_xi+B_yj=63.64i+57.62j

Vector C=A+B

Substitute the values

C=43.24i-15.64j+63.64i+57.62j

C=106.88i+41.98j

c.Direction=\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{y}{x})=tan^{-1}(\frac{41.98}{106.88})=21.5^{\circ}

The direction of the vector C=21.5 degree
