A rock of mass 170 kg needs to be lifted off the ground. One end of a metal bar is slipped under the rock, and a fulcrum is set

up under the bar at a point that is 0.65 m from the rock. A worker pushes down (perpendicular) on the other end of the bar, which is 1.9 m away from the fulcrum. What force is required to move the rock?

Answer:

866.32 N

Explanation:

The diagram explains better.

Taking the total moment of forces, the sum of the clockwise moment of forces about the fulcrum must be equal to the sum of the anticlockwise moment of forces about the fulcrum:

F * (1.9 - 0.65) = 170 * 9.8 * 0.65

F * 1.25 = 1082.9

F = 1082.9/1.25

F = 866.32 N

A force of 866.32 N is needed to move the rock.

Art [367]
The answer is :  We’ll see the bell move, but we won’t hear it ring.  This is    because light can travel through vacuum but sound cannot.  Sound waves are vibrations of particles in any media, so sound requires a medium to travel, and it cannot travel in a vacuum as there is no particles to vibrate.

What is the difference between speed and velocity?
mixer [17]
  • Speed is the rate of change of distance with time while velocity is the rate of change of displacement with time.
  • Speed is a scalar quantity while velocity is a vector quantity.
  • Speed cannot be negative but velocity can be negative.

Hope you could get an idea from here.
