Answer:

Explanation:

There will be reaction force by  each vertical post on horizontal plank . Let it be R₁ and R₂ . R₁ is reaction force by the post nearer to woman

Taking torque of all forces about the end far away from the woman

Torque by reaction force = R₁ x 5.5

= 5.5 R₁ upwards

Torque by weight of woman in opposite direction , downwards

= - 804 x ( 5.5 - 1.55 )

= - 3175.8

Torque by weight of the plank in opposite direction , downwards .

= - 27 x 5.5 / 2

= - 74.25

Torque by R₂ will be zero as it passes through the point about which torque is being taken .

Total torque

= 5.5 R₁ - - 3175.8 - - 74.25  = 0 ( For equilibrium )

5.5 R₁ = 3250

R₁ = 590.9 N .

Explain why the life cycle of a star can be compared to the life style of a human
Vladimir79 [104]
A star is born when clouds of dust and elements are gathered together in a certain space due to gravity, more and more mass and therefore pressure builds. When the pressure becomes enough to overcome the electronic repulsive force between two hydrogen nuclei, they are forced together and massive amounts of energy are given off forming helium atoms. This energy is then used to fuse other nuclei together. This could be compared to the way human life starts, where instead of 2 nuclei joining together to start a life cycle, two gametes, or sex cells are joined together. Also at the start of both a star and persons life, we are weak and we gain strength until we reach the height of our existence, then humans slowly become less efficient at doing what they do until eventually they cannot sustain themselves any further.
