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
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,
Regarding the forces we have,
Re-arrange to find M,
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
Here when an object is placed on the level floor then in that case there are two forces on the object
1). Weight of object downwards (mg)
2). Normal force due to floor which will counterbalance the weight (N)
so when no force is applied on the box at that time normal force is counter balanced by weight.
Now here it is given that A person tried to lift the box upwards
So now there are two forces on the box
1). Applied force of person
2). Normal force due to ground
So now these two forces will counter balance the weight of the crate
So we can write an equation for force balance like
given that
here
m = 30 kg and
g = acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s^2
now from above equation
So force applied by the person must be 150 N
