Answer:

x = 0.9 m

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the rotational equilibrium relation, we will assume that the counterclockwise rotations are positive

          ∑ τ = 0

          60 1.5 - 78 1.5 + 30 x = 0

where x is measured from the left side of the fulcrum

           90 - 117 + 30 x = 0

           x = 27/30

           x = 0.9 m       

In summary the center of mass is on the side of the lightest weight x = 0.9 m

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

Explanation:

Work done = ∫Fdx

= ∫(cx-3.00x²)   dx

[ c x² / 2 - 3 x³ / 3 ]₀²

= change in kinetic energy

= 11-20

= - 9 J

[ c x² / 2 -  x³   ]₀² = - 9

c x 2² / 2 - 2³ = -9

2c - 8 = -9

2c = -1

c = - 1/2
