i think [after solving] that it is option B and C
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
14
Step-by-step explanation:
A positive number divided by a negative number gives you a negative number for example 12 is positive but the three is negative so our answer has to be negative
1) Never heard of someone referring to the Law of Levers before, must be showing my age. A system as you describe is at equilibrium when the net torque is equal to zero. Since torque is Fr=mgr so for this system we have a sum of:
27g*10+30g*x=0 The sum must be zero to be at equilibrium, dividing both sides by g you have:
270+30x=0
270=-30x
x=-9
The negative just indicates that the magnitude of 9 is on the opposite side of the fulcrum, so x=9ft in magnitude.
2) Inverse variation is of the form y=k/x, in this case we are given a point so we can solve for the constant, k, of variation...
y=k/x, and we are given y=-12 when x=5 so
-12=k/5
k=-60 so the equation is:
y=-60/x which can be expressed as
xy=-60
