If the rod is in rotational equilibrium, then the net torques acting on it is zero:
∑ τ = 0
Let's give the system a counterclockwise orientation, so that forces that would cause the rod to rotate counterclockwise act in the positive direction. Compute the magnitudes of each torque:
• at the left end,
τ = + (50 N) (2.0 m) = 100 N•m
• at the right end,
τ = - (200 N) (5.0 m) = - 1000 N•m
• at a point a distance d to the right of the pivot point,
τ = + (300 N) d
Then
∑ τ = 100 N•m - 1000 N•m + (300 N) d = 0
⇒ (300 N) d = 1100 N•m
⇒ d ≈ 3.7 m
Answer:
24.8m/s
Explanation:
Given data
m1= 10kg
u1=25m/s
m2=17kg
u2=16m/s
v1=10m/s
v2=??
Applying the conservation of linear momentum
m1u1+m2u2=m1v1+m2v2
substitute
10*25+17*16=10*10+17*v2
250+272=100+17v2
522=100+17v2
522-100=17v2
422=17v2
Divide both sides by 17
v2= 422/17
v2= 24.8 m/s
Hence the velocity of the red cart is 24.8m/s in the opposite direction of the blue cart
Yes, It has a stored energy in that stone.
