The answer is 175184.08 joules
Answer:
To reduce pressure - decrease the force or increase the area the force acts on. If you were standing on a frozen lake and the ice started to crack you could lie down to increase the area in contact with the ice. The same force (your weight) would apply, spread over a larger area, so the pressure would reduce.
Answer:
20 cm to the right of the center or 20+50 = 70 cm from the left side.
Explanation:
The length of meter stick is 1 m = 100 cm
Balance point on 50 cm
From the center the 20 N weight is 50-20 = 30 cm
Torque is obtained when force is multiplied with the distance
As the force is conserved we have

The distance will be 20 cm to the right of the center or 20+50 = 70 cm from the left side.
