distance d = 5 km = 5 x 1000 m = 5000 m
time taken = 25 minute = 25 x 60 sec = 1500 sec
average velocity V = d/t
V = 5000/1500
V = 3.33 m/s towards east
Answer:
Weight needed to balance the bar is 
Explanation:
Given the weight of the bar is 
The length of the bar is 
The weight of the bar will be uniformly distributed over the entire span. We will consider this as a point load acting in the middle of span length, which is at a distance of
from both ends.
Now applying momentum equation about balanced load we get, (see attachment)
