A steel beam that is 7.00 m long weighs 326 N. It rests on two supports, 3.00 m apart, with equal amounts of the beam extending

from each end. Suki, who weighs 555 N, stands on the beam in the center and then walks toward one end. How close to the end can she come before the beam begins to tip?

Answer:

The answer to the question is

Suki is 1.12 m close to the end of the steel beam before the beam begins to tip

Explanation:

To solve the question we list out the known variables first

Length of steel beam, L = 7.00 m

Weight  of steal beam W = 326 N

Distance between supports = 3.00 m

Weight of Suki = 555 N

By moments theory, the sum of moments about a point = 0

and assuming the steal beam is uniform, the weight of the beam will act at the center of the beam

As described the supports are 2.00 m from each end of the beam thus

taking moments about one of the support with Suki between  the end of the beam and the support we have

Distance from center of beam to support = 1.5 m

Distance of Suki to the nearest support = x m

therefore 555 × x + 326 × 1.5 = 0

or x = -0.881 m on the other side of the support

Therefore Suki is (2 - 0.881) m or 1.12 m close to the end before the beam begins to tip

An ice cube floats in warm water in a container placed outside on a hot, sunny day.
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

Firsthand association assigns energy throughout conduction. Radiation transpires when particles consume energy that progresses as a wave. The heat will run from the h2O to the ice continuously until the ice has absolutely melted so both elements have reached the same temperature.

TRUE OR FALSE :Normal cells will not divide unless the nutrients they require are already presen True False
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Cell division is a primary procedure by all cells. This process in the life cycle of cells ensures that new cells (daughter cells) are produced. The two major process are; meiosis and mitosis.

Normal cells would divide if the nutrients required are not present, since water is the main nutrient required. But in some cases, the division process may lead to an effect on one or both daughter cells. This effect is called mutation, thereby mutated cells may be produced.

Write the structure of the product that would be formed from the S(
prisoha [69]

Answer:The product formed on reaction with hydroxide ion as nucleophile is 2R-hexane-2-ol.

The product formed on reaction with water would be a 50:50 mixture of

2S-hexane-2-ol. and 2R-hexane-2-ol.

Explanation:

2S-iodohexane on reactiong with hydroxide ion would undergo SN² substitution reaction that is substitution bimolecular. Hydroxide ion has a negative charge and hence it is a quite good  nucleophile .

The rate of a SN² reaction depends on both the substrate and nucleophile . Here the substrate is a secondary carbon center having Iodine as a leaving group.SN² reaction  takes place here as hydroxide ion is a good nucleophile and it can attack the secondary carbon center from the back side leading to the formation of 2R-hexane-2-ol.

In a SN² reaction since the the nucleophile attacks from the back-side so the product formation takes place with the inversion of configuration.

When the same substrate S-2-iodohexane undergoes a substitution reaction with water as a nucleophile then the reaction occurs through (SN¹) substitution nucleophilic unimolecular mechanism .

The rate of a SN¹ reaction depends only on the nature of substrate and is independent of the nature of nucleophile.

The SN¹ reaction is a 2 step reaction , in  the first step leaving group leaves leading to the formation of a carbocation and once the carbocation is formed then any weaker nucleophile or even solvent molecules can attack leading the formation of products.

In this case a secondary carbocation would be generated in the first step and then water will attack this carbocation to form the product in the second step.

The product formed on using water as a nucleophile would be a racemic mixture of R and S isomers of hexane -2-ol in 50:50 ratio. The two products formed would be 2R-hexane-2-ol and 2S-hexane-2-ol.

Kindly refer the attachment for reaction mechanism and structure of products.
