The name carbohydrate means "watered carbon" or carbon with attached water molecules. Many carbohydrates have empirical formuli which would imply about equal numbers of carbon and water molecules. For example, the glucose formula C6H12O6 suggests six carbon atoms and six water molecules.
One Astronomical Unit is the distance between the Earth and the Sun, this acts as a sort of a cosmic metre stick. Astronomers don't and cannot measure distances. Distances are merely inferred from what actually has been measured, such as an angle, a relative luminosity, a time period
Answer:
3.5 N
Explanation:
Let the 0-cm end be the moment point. We know that for the system to be balanced, the total moment about this point must be 0. Let's calculate the moment at each point, in order from 0 to 100cm
- Tension of the string attached at the 0cm end is 0 as moment arm is 0
- 2 N weight suspended from the 10 cm position: 2*10 = 20 Ncm clockwise
- 2 N weight suspended from the 50 cm position: 2*50 = 100 Ncm clockwise
- 1 N stick weight at its center of mass, which is 50 cm position, since the stick is uniform: 1*50 = 50 Ncm clockwise
- 3 N weight suspended from the 60 cm position: 3*60 = 180 Ncm clockwise
- Tension T (N) of the string attached at the 100-cm end: T*100 = 100T Ncm counter-clockwise.
Total Clockwise moment = 20 + 100 + 50 + 180 = 350Ncm
Total counter-clockwise moment = 100T
For this to balance, 100 T = 350
so T = 350 / 100 = 3.5 N
