The upward force on each supporting plank is 200 N

<u>The given parameters include;</u>

  • weight of the plank, W₁ = 400 N
  • length of the plank, l = 2 m
  • upward force of each supporting plank, = W₂ and W₃

To show that the upward force of each supporting plank is 200 N, make the following sketch.

                 W₂                                                           W₃

                  ↑                                                              ↑                                                              

           -----------------------------------------------------------------------

              0.2m                         ↓                               0.2m

                                              400 N

  • The two supporting planks keeps the 2m plank in equilibrium position.
  • If the plank is in equilibrium position the sum of the upward forces equals sum of the downward force.

W₂  +   W₃ = 400 N

But the distance of each supporting plank from the end is equal, (0.2m).

Then, W₂  =  W₃

2W₂ = 400 N

W₂ = 400N/2

W₂ = 200 N

W₃ = 200 N

Therefore, the upward force on each supporting plank that keeps the plank in equilibrium position is 200 N.

A woman lifts her 150 N child up one meter and carries her for a distance of 50 meters to the
Cloud [144]

7500J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Weight of child = 150N

Height of lifting = 50m

Distance = 50m

Unknown:

Work done by the woman = ?

Solution:

Work done by a body is the force applied to move a body through a given distance.

  Work done = Force x distance

Weight is a force impacted by the mass of a body and the gravity on it.

 input the parameters:

   Work done = 150 x 50 = 7500J
