How to calculate moments with 3 separate weights of different amounts at different points?

I don't completely understand your drawing, although I can see that you certainly
did put a lot of effort into making it.  But calculating the moment is easy, and we
can get along without the drawing.

Each separate weight has a 'moment'.
The moment of each weight is: 

             (the weight of it) x (its distance from the pivot/fulcrum) .

That's all there is to a 'moment'.

The lever (or the see-saw) is balanced when (the sum of all the moments
on one side) is equal to (the sum of the moments on the other side).

That's why when you're on the see-saw with a little kid, the little kid has to sit
farther away from the pivot than you do.  The kid has less weight than you do,
so he needs more distance in order for his moment to be equal to yours.

The water cycle was described in the Scriptures long before modern scientists understood it.
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Low humidity is typically associated with cold temperatures since cold air holds less water compared to warm air. While it is possible for indoor humidity to be as low as 10%, most people generally find humidity levels of about 40 to 45 percent comfortable.

Two metallic rods A and B of different materials have same length. The linear expansivity of A is 12×10–6 oC–1and cubical expans
uysha [10]

Answer:

The length of rod A will be <u>greater than </u>the length of rod B

Explanation:

We, know that the formula for final length in linear thermal expansion of a rod is:

L' = L(1 + ∝ΔT)

where,

L' = Final Length

L = Initial Length

∝ = Co-efficient of linear expansion

ΔT = Change in temperature

Since, the rods here have same original length and the temperature difference is same as well. Therefore, the final length will only depend upon the coefficient of linear expansion.

For Rod A:

∝₁ = 12 x 10⁻⁶ °C⁻¹

For Rod B:

∝₂ = β₂/3

where,

β₂ = Coefficient of volumetric expansion for rod B = 24 x 10⁻⁶ °C⁻¹

Therefore,

∝₂ = 24 x 10⁻⁶ °C⁻¹/3

∝₂ = 8 x 10⁻⁶ °C⁻¹

Since,

∝₁ > ∝₂

Therefore,

L₁ > L₂

So, the length of rod A will be <u>greater than </u>the length of rod B
