Answer:

 m₃ = 30 kg

Explanation:

This is a problem of rotational equilibrium, let's write Newton's law for rotational equilibrium.

Let's fix our reference system in the support, the positive torques are those that create an anti-clockwise turn

Let's look for the distances to the point of support

The distance of man

      x₁ = -3 m

The distance of the bar is

      x₂ = L / 2 -3

     x₂ = 10/2 -3

     x₂ = 2 m

Remote object at the end

      x₃ = L-3

     x₃ = 10-3

     x₃ = 7 m

They give us the mass of man (m1) and the mass of the bar (m2)

Let's write the torques

      W₁ x₁ - W₂ x₂ - w₃ x₃ = 0

       m₁ g 3 - m₂ g 2 - m₃ g 7 = 0

       m₃ = (3m₁ -2m₂) / 7

Let's calculate

      m₃ = (3 80 -2 15) / 7

     m₃ = 30 kg

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

The tropospheric tabulation continues to 11,000 meters (36,089 ft), where the temperature has fallen to −56.5 °C (−69.7 °F), the pressure to 22,632 pascals (3.2825 psi), and the density to 0.3639 kilograms per cubic meter (0.02272 lb/cu ft). Between 11 km and 20 km, the temperature remains constant

What is the net force experienced by the rope? Include both the magnitude and direction
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

All the physical world objects that comers in the contact to exert the force to each other. The contact forces are different from their names and what type of force they exert.

Explanation:

The cables and the ropes are the useful objects that exert the forces that can efficiently transfer the force from a significant distance.

It is noted that tension is a type of force that the rope can not simply push it away effectively. When push happened with rope, the rope goes to slack and lose all the tension that pulls at the first place. Tension only pull objects.

Please solve this question ​
lesantik [10]

Answer:

88200 Pa

it is because

height =9m

density=1000kg/m(cube)

gravity = 9.8m/s(square)

now,

P=d×g×h

= 1000×9.8×9

=88200pa
