Answer:
1.045 m from 120 kg
Explanation:
m1 = 120 kg
m2 = 420 kg
m = 51 kg
d = 3 m
Let m is placed at a distance y from 120 kg so that the net force on 51 kg is zero.
By use of the gravitational force
Force on m due to m1 is equal to the force on m due to m2.



3 - y = 1.87 y
3 = 2.87 y
y = 1.045 m
Thus, the net force on 51 kg is zero if it is placed at a distance of 1.045 m from 120 kg.

Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The mass of the rock is 
The length of the small object from the rock is 
The length of the small object from the branch 
An image representing this lever set-up is shown on the first uploaded image
Here the small object acts as a fulcrum
The force exerted by the weight of the rock is mathematically evaluated as

substituting values


So at equilibrium the sum of the moment about the fulcrum is mathematically represented as

Here
is very small so
and 
Hence

=> 
substituting values


The mechanical advantage is mathematically evaluated as

substituting values


Answer:
.
Explanation:
When the ball is placed in this pool of water, part of the ball would be beneath the surface of the pool. The volume of the water that this ball displaced is equal to the volume of the ball that is beneath the water surface.
The buoyancy force on this ball would be equal in magnitude to the weight of water that this ball has displaced.
Let
denote the mass of this ball. Let
denote the mass of water that this ball has displaced.
Let
denote the gravitational field strength. The weight of this ball would be
. Likewise, the weight of water displaced would be
.
For this ball to stay afloat, the buoyancy force on this ball should be greater than or equal to the weight of this ball. In other words:
.
At the same time, buoyancy is equal in magnitude the the weight of water displaced. Thus:
.
Therefore:
.
.
In other words, the mass of water that this ball displaced should be greater than or equal to the mass of of the ball. Let
denote the density of water. The volume of water that this ball should displace would be:
.
Given that
while
:
.
In other words, for this ball to stay afloat, at least
of the volume of this ball should be under water. Therefore, the volume of this ball should be at least
.
