An electrical charge can be positive or negative. From the laws of electrostatics, unlike charges attract while like charges repel. As such the effect observed when the rods are individually brought near the sphere will decide the charge on the sphere.

If the sphere is neutral, there is no effect observed when each rod is brought near the sphere. If the sphere is positively charged, the positive rod is repelled by the sphere while the negative rod is attracted by the sphere.

An 800-N billboard worker stands on a 4.0-m scaffold weighing 500 N and supported by vertical ropes at each end. How far would t

Lynna [10]

Answer:

2.5 m

Explanation:

Weight of billboard worker = 800 N

Number of ropes = 2

Length of scaffold = 4 m

Weight of scaffold = 500 N

Tension in rope = 550 N

The sum of the torques will be

$-800(4-x)-500\times 2+550\times 4=0\\\Rightarrow -800(4-x)=500\times 2-550\times 4\\\Rightarrow -800(4-x)=-1200\\\Rightarrow -x=\dfrac{1200}{800}-4\\\Rightarrow -x=-2.5\\\Rightarrow x=2.5\ m$

The position of the person will be 2.5 m
