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.

Power is the rate of work that is done per time. Work is calculated from the product of force and the displacement. So, by using the definition of power and work, we can relate power with force, displacement and the time. We do as follows:

Power = Work / time
Power = Force x displacement / time
Power = 21 N (9 m) / 3 s
Power = 63 J /s = 63 W

How are electrons represented in orbitals?
Alexxx [7]
Electrons move in atomic orbitals (or subshells). there are four different orbital shapes (s p d f). in each shell, the s subshell is at a lower energy than the p. an orbital diagram is used to determine an atom's electron configurations

Earning Goal: To be able to calculate work done by a constant force directed at different angles relative to displacement
lana [24]

Answer:

the work done by the 30N force is 4156.92 J.

For this problem, they don´t ask you to determine the work of the total force applied in the block. They only want the work done for the force of 30N, with an angle of 30º respectively of the displacement and a traveled distance of 160m. So:

W=F·s·cos(α)=30N·160m·cos(30º)=4156.92J

The equation for the speed of an electromagnetic wave is
igomit [66]

Answer:

c = 1 / √(ε₀*μ₀)

Explanation:

The speed of the electromagnetic wave in free space is given in terms of the permeability and the permittivity of free space by

c = 1 / √(ε₀*μ₀)

where the permeability of free space (μ₀) is a physical constant used often in electromagnetism and ε₀ is the permittivity of free space (a physical constant).
