A uniform plank 8.00 m in length with mass 50.0 kg is supported at two points located 1.00 m and 5.00 m, respectively, from the

left-hand end. What is the maximum additional mass you could place on the right-hand end of the plank and have the plank still be at rest?

To solve the problem it is necessary to use Newton's second law and statistical equilibrium equations.

According to Newton's second law we have to

F = mg

where,

m= mass

g = gravitational acceleration

For the balance to break, there must be a mass M located at the right end.

We will define the mass m as the mass of the body, located in an equidistant center of the corners equal to 4m.

In this way, applying the static equilibrium equations, we have to sum up torques at point B,

\sum \tau = 0

Regarding the forces we have,

3Mg-1mg=0

Re-arrange to find M,

M = \frac{m}{3}

M = \frac{50}{3}

M = 16.67Kg

Therefore the maximum additional mass you could place on the right hand end of the plank and have the plank still be at rest is 16.67Kg

The speed of a nerve impulse in the human body is about 100 m/s. If you accidentally stub you toe in the dark, estimate the time
vodomira [7]

Answer:

0.02 s

Explanation:

Take the (+x) direction to be up.  

The average velocity v during a time interval Δt is the displacement Δx divided by Δt.  

v=Δx/Δt

 =x_f-x_i/t_f-t_i                 (1)

We assume that your height is 1.6m  

Solving [1]

Δt=Δx/v

  = 0.02 s

Newton's 2nd law of motion:

                       Force  =  (mass) x (acceleration)

                                   =  (1,127 kg) x (6 m/s² forward)

                                   =  (1,127 x 6)  newtons forward

                                   =    6,762 newtons forward
______________________________

             Momentum  =  (mass) x (speed)

                                 =   (69 kg) x (6 m/s)

                                 =      414 kg-m/s

What type of cooling would a scientist determine formed an igneous rock found with large crystals? Slow cooling Medium rate cool
Dmitriy789 [7]

Slower cooling engenders the growth of larger crystals in igneous rocks, thus, your answer should be slow cooling!

Hope this helped!
