The simplest way to do this is to set up equivalent fractions, like this-

=

Solve for x by using cross multiplication.
40*2.2= 88
1*x=88
x=88
Therefore, the boy weighs 88lbs.
The velocity of pin B after rod AB has rotated through 90* is vb = 3.2549 m/s.
<h3>What is Potential and Kinetic energy?</h3>
Potential energy is the energy that is stored in any item or system as a result of its location or component arrangement. The environment outside of the object or system, such as air or height, has no impact on it. In contrast, kinetic energy refers to the energy of moving particles inside a system or an item.
mass of rod, mab = 2.4kg
mass of rod, mbc = 4kg
conservation of energy


potential energy at position 1,

V1 = 2.5 * 9.81 * 0.18 + 4 * 9.81 * 0.18
V1 = 11.30112
kinetic energy T1 at position 1 is zero
potential energy at position 2 is zero
K.E at position 2,


= 1/3 *4 * (0.36)²
=0.10368kg m²

= 1/12 *4 * (0.6)²
=0.12kg m²
on putting the values in above equation we get,
T₂ = 1.0667vb²
0 + 11.30112 = 1.0667vb² + 0
vb = 3.2549 m/s

<h2>distance = 523 cm</h2>
Explanation:
( a ) The rotational speed of the ladybug = 25 r.p.m = 25/60 r.p.s
= 5/12 rev/sec
( b ) The definition of frequency is the number of rotations per second .
Here the number of rotations per second is 5/12 . Thus frequency = 5/12 Hz
( c ) The tangential speed is v = angular velocity x radius of rotation
The angular velocity ω = 2π x n , where n is the number of rotations per second
Thus angular velocity = 2π x 5/12 = 5π/6 rad/sec
The linear velocity = angular velocity x distance from center of record
Thus tangential speed = 5π/6 x 10 = 25π/3 cm/sec
Angular displacement in 20 sec = ω x t = 5π/6 x 20 = 50π/3 rad
Linear displacement = angular displacement x distance from center of record
= 50π/3 x 10 = 500π/3 = 523 cm
