Answer:
x = 0.9 m
Explanation:
For this exercise we must use the rotational equilibrium relation, we will assume that the counterclockwise rotations are positive
∑ τ = 0
60 1.5 - 78 1.5 + 30 x = 0
where x is measured from the left side of the fulcrum
90 - 117 + 30 x = 0
x = 27/30
x = 0.9 m
In summary the center of mass is on the side of the lightest weight x = 0.9 m
The answer is c for that question
Answer:
A POSTAL PACKAGE IS PUSHED BY A HORIZONTAL TABLE WITH A FORCE F = 40N. PACKAGE MOVES ON A DISTANCE OF 1.5M WHICH MECHANICAL WORK PERFORMS THIS FORCE
PT TEST
Answer:
<em>We need to (at least) apply a force of 9.8 N to move the block</em>
Explanation:
<u>Second Newton's Law</u>
If a net force
different from zero is applied to an object of mass m, then it will move at an acceleration a, given by

If we apply a force F to an object placed on a rough surface, the only way to make it move is to beat the friction force which is given by

Where
is the static friction coefficient and
is the normal force exerted by the table to the object. Since there is no motion in the vertical direction the normal force equals the weight of the object:

The friction force is

Thus, we need to (at least) apply a force of 9.8 N to move the block
