Answer: 3 m.
Explanation:
Neglecting the mass of the seesaw, in order the seesaw to be balanced, the sum of the torques created by gravity acting on both children must be 0.
As we are asked to locate Jack at some distance from the fulcrum, we can take torques regarding the fulcrum, which is located at just in the middle of the length of the seesaw.
If we choose the counterclockwise direction as positive, we can write the torque equation as follows (assuming that Jill sits at the left end of the seesaw):
mJill* 5m -mJack* d = 0
60 kg*5 m -100 kg* d =0
Solving for d:
d = 3 m.
100 millimeters equals 0.1 meters.
B verifying is the answer
Under the assumption that the tires do not change in volume, apply Gay-Lussac's law:
P/T = const.
P = pressure, T = temperature, the quotient of P/T must stay constant.
Initial P and T values:
P = 210kPa + 101.325kPa
P = 311.325kPa (add 101.325 to change gauge pressure to absolute pressure)
T = 25°C = 298.15K
Final P and T values:
P = ?, T = 0°C = 273.15K
Set the initial and final P/T values equal to each other and solve for the final P:
311.325/298.15 = P/273.15
P = 285.220kPa
Subtract 101.325kPa to find the final gauge pressure:
285.220kPa - 101.325kPa = 183.895271kPa
The final gauge pressure is 184kPa or 26.7psi.
