D I think .... don’t be mad if I’m wrong
Answer: 3 m.
Explanation:
Neglecting the mass of the seesaw, in order the seesaw to be balanced, the sum of the torques created by gravity acting on both children must be 0.
As we are asked to locate Jack at some distance from the fulcrum, we can take torques regarding the fulcrum, which is located at just in the middle of the length of the seesaw.
If we choose the counterclockwise direction as positive, we can write the torque equation as follows (assuming that Jill sits at the left end of the seesaw):
mJill* 5m -mJack* d = 0
60 kg*5 m -100 kg* d =0
Solving for d:
d = 3 m.
Work done on the crate is 1411.2 J
Explanation:
Work done is defined as the product of force and the distance moved by the object. The unit of work done is in joules and denoted by the symbol J.
Work done = F * d
where F represents the force and d represents the distance moved by the object.
mass = 72 kg , distance moved by the object is given by 2.0 m
Force F = mass * gravity = 72 * 9.8
= 705.6 N =706 N.
Work done = 706 * 2.0 = 1412 J.
Displacement is d
Vf² = Vi² + 2 g d
(-20²) = (+10²) + 2 (-9.8) d
-19.6 d = 300
d = -15.3 m
negative means lower
time is t
d = Vi t + 1/2 g t²
-15.3 = 10 t + (-4.9) t²
4.9 t² - 10 t -15.3 = 0
t = 3.06 s
Hope this helps -John
