A steel beam that is 6.50 m long weighs 336 N. It rests on two supports, 3.00 m apart, with equal amounts of the beam extending

from each end. Suki, who weighs 590 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:

Explanation:

When beam is balanced and not rotating with Suki standing on it , let reaction force on the supports be R₁ and R₂. Then

R₁ +R₂ = 336 + 590

= 929

Now the moment beam begins to tip , reaction on distant support R₁ = 0

only R₂ will exists on the support near to Suki.

Taking torque about this support of weight of beam acting from the middle point and weight of suki of 590N ,who is x distance from the support towards the other end.

336 x 1.5 = 590 x

x = .85 m

ie , from second support , Suki can not go beyond a distance of .85 m towards the second end.

ollegr [7]
A carbide ion is an anion of carbon atom with two carbon atoms with a triple bond connected to each other. Since this carbide ion is a negatively charged ion, in order to convert carbide ion to its neutral carbon atom, it has to give up/remove four electrons.

Snowcat [4.5K]

From the Newton’s First Law, we can see that acceleration is simply the ratio of Force over mass. In this case, mass is the sum of the mass of each car, that is:

mass = 2300 kg + 2500 kg = 4800 kg

 

So the formula is:

acceleration = Force / mass

acceleration = 18,000 N / 4800 kg

acceleration = 3.75 m/s^2

 

In 2 significant figures:

<span>acceleration = 3.8 m/s^2</span>

Answer: 4.675×10^-6 m

Explanation: this is a question under the pattern gotten from an interference experiment.

The formulae below defines the experiment given

y = Rmλ/d

Where y = distance between the center fringe and any other fringe in the pattern = 8cm = 0.08m

m = position of fringe = 1 ( this is because we have only one central band)

λ = wavelength of light used for experiment = 680nm = 6.8×10^-7m

d = width of slit =?

R = distance between slits and screen = 5.5 cm = 0.055m

By substituting the parameters, we have that

0.08 = 0.055 × 1 × 6.8×10^-7/d

By cross multiplying, we have that

0.08 × d = 0.055 × 1 × 6.8×10^-7

d = 0.055 × 1 × 6.8×10^-7/ 0.08

d = 3.74 × 10^-7/ 0.08

d = 46.75×10^-7

d = 4.675×10^-6 m
