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.
They use Newton to measure force
At a particular location, when an an increase in the rate at which water moves from the hydrosphere to the atmosphere, an increase in humidity is expected at that location. The term "humidity" generally refers to the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere.
Answer: B. Concrete
Explanation:
Let N = reacting force pressing the bodies in context together (units in Newtons),
The question stated that the force pressing the two mounted/stacked objects together is equal to the weight of the object on top.
We need to start by finding the weight of the piece of wood.
friction is given by
f = μN
The value of f is 22.5,
and from the chart reference the coefficient of friction between wood and stone, μ is 0.30.
22.5 = 75. 0.30
Putting the values into the equation: 22.5 = 0.30N.
Divide both sides by 0.30 to find the value of N:
N= 22.5/0.3 = 75
Now that the piece of wood will be placed on another surface, its weight of 75 Newton is the force pressing the two bodies together.
To determine the new surface, you should find the new coefficient of friction by using the new value of the force of friction given 46.5:
46.5 = µ(75).
Divide both sides by 75 to isolate μ.
The refer chart also indicates that the coefficient of friction equals 0.62 between wood and concrete, so the new surface corresponding to 0.62 is the concrete, which is (B).
