There is a total of 6 half lives that need to take place.

ONE HALF LIFE = 200

TWO HALF LIFES = 100

THREE HALF LIFES = 50

FOUR HALF LIFES = 25

FIVE HALF LIFES = 12.5

SIX HALF LIFES = 6.25

The answer is 6.25g

A uniform plank of mass 10kg and length 10m rests on two supports, A and B as shown. A boy of weight 500N stands at a distance o

Answer:

U² = 142.86 N

U¹ = 357.14 N

Explanation:

Taking summation of the moment about point A, we get the following equilibrium equation: (taking clockwise direction as positive)

$W(2\ m) - U^2(7\ m) = 0$

where,

W = weight of boy = 500 N

U² = reaction ay B = ?

Therefore,

$(500\ N)(2\ m)-(U^2)(7\ m)=0\\U^2=\frac{1000\ Nm}{7\ m}\\$

<u>U² = 142.86 N</u>

Now, taking summation of forces on the plank. Taking upward direction as positive, for equilibrium position:

$W-U^1-U^2=0\\500\ N - 142.86\ N = U^1\\$

<u>U¹ = 357.14 N</u>
