Deductive reasoning
<h2>
Explanation:</h2>
The process of using pre-existing knowledge to make logical conclusions, make predictions and draw out explanations is called reasoning. Reasoning are basically of two types:
i. Deductive reasoning: This takes a general rule, idea, or theory as foundation and then proceeds from there to draw meaningful conclusions or predictions. For example;
<em> If a = 3 ----------------(i)</em>
<em> And b = 5 ----------------(ii)</em>
<em> Then 2a + 4b = 26 -------------(iii)</em>
From above, following from equations (i) and (ii), it can be concluded that (iii) should be true.
ii. Inductive reasoning: While deductive reasoning moves from a general rule to specific rule, inductive reasoning does the opposite - moves from specific to a general rule.
Explanation:
The rod can be in equilibrium only if the resultant force is 0 and the moment around any point of the rod must be equal to 0.
We have to take moments around the pivoted point.
Moment = Force × Perpendicular distance to the force
For the rod to be in equilibrium,
Clockwise moment - Anticlockwise moment = 0
Clockwise moment = Anticlockwise moment
The distance between pivoted point and the weight of rod = 50 cm - 30 cm = 20 cm
So 20 cm× 1.2 N produces a Clockwise moment
If Perpendicular distance between pivoted point and 2N load is x,
Anticlockwise moment = x × 2N
20 cm× 1.2N = 2N × x
x = 12 cm
So 2 N load is at 12 from the pivoted point.
From the left edge of the meter ruler, 2N load is at 30-12 cm distance
= 18 cm
Answer:

because it has compact molecules
Answer:
2.7 J
Explanation:
From the question,
The Net work done by the crate = Work done by the crate in moving if through a distance- work done against friction.
W = Fd-F'd.................... Equation 1
Where F = force applied to the crate, d = distance moved by the crate, F' = force of friction
Given: F = 2.4 N, F' = 0.6 N, d = 1.5 m
Substitute these values into equation 1
W = 2.4(1.5)-0.6(1.5)
W = 3.6-0.9
W = 2.7 J
