20m away
the dog was 60m away from. you subtract 40m since it is 10m/s x 4 seconds
Assuming you are looking for the acceleration a:
1.

2.

where T is the tension and a is the acceleration of the blocks. The acceleration of the two blocks and the acceleration of the pulley must be equal.
The torque on the pulley is given by:
3.

where

and

.
Combining the three equations:
The correct letter of the answer would be letter b, Bob is using his personal knowledge of the local area to make his forecast. It does not look like he's ignoring the computer for he's been the top meteorologist for ten years, meaning to say, he would use his knowledge about the local area and tell them his knowledge about the weather.
For balancing the lever, force on both the sides shall be equal. so,
Force on 3 m end = m × a = 3 × 98.1 = 294.3
Now, on 6 m end, it would be: = 294.3/6 = 49.05
After rounding-off to the nearest hundredth value, it would be: 49 N
Finally, Option A would be your correct answer.
Hope this helps!
True because the atmosphere is in the way
