A homeowner is trying to move a stubborn rock from his yard. By using a a metal rod as a lever arm and a fulcrum (or pivot point

) the homeowner will have a better chance of moving the rock. The homeowner places the fulcrum a distance ????=0.266 md=0.266 m from the rock, which has a mass of 325 kg,325 kg, and fits one end of the rod under the rock's center of weight. If the homeowner can apply a maximum force of 663 N at the other end of the rod, what is the minimum total length L of the rod required to move the rock? Assume that the rod is massless and nearly horizontal so that the weight of the rock and homeowner's force are both essentially vertical.

Answer:

L = 1.545 m

Explanation:

Let the total length of the rod is L

now the torque must applied on the other end of the rod so that it will balance the torque due to weight of rock on other side of fulcrum

so we will have

mg \times d = F(L - d)

so we have

325\times 9.8 \times 0.266 = F(L - 0.266)

F = 663 N

848 = 663(L - 0.266)

L = 1.545 m

An 888.0 kg elevator is moving downward with a velocity of 0.800 m/s. It decelerates uniformly and comes to a stop in a distance
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

The value of tension on the cable T = 1065.6 N

Explanation:

Mass = 888 kg

Initial velocity ( u )= 0.8 \frac{m}{sec}

Final velocity ( V ) = 0

Distance traveled before come to rest = 0.2667 m

Now use third law of motion V^{2} = u^{2} - 2 a s

Put all the values in above formula we get,

⇒ 0 = 0.8^{2} - 2 × a ×0.2667

⇒ a = 1.2 \frac{m}{sec^{2} }

This is the deceleration of the box.

Tension in the cable is given by T = F = m × a

Put all the values in above formula we get,

T = 888 × 1.2

T = 1065.6 N

This is the value of tension on the cable.

sp2606 [1]
I, thank you for posting your question here at Brainly.

Here are the answers to your questions:

1. Monkeys live in tropical rainforest ecosystems.
2. Animals should be left alone in nature to take part in the balance of the ecosystem, and not upset it. A sudden increase of monkey population, probably due to destruction of rainforests which lead to lesser area of living for them. 
3. Monkeys take a huge part in seed dispersal among flesh fruit plants. Without them, it will greatly affect the conservation of the forests.
