Answer:

M₂ = M  then L₂ = L

M₂> M  then L₂ = \frac{M}{M_{2}} L

Explanation:

This is a static equilibrium exercise, to solve it we must fix a reference system at the turning point, generally in the center of the rod. By convention counterclockwise turns are considered positive

          ∑ τ = 0

           

The mass of the rock is M and placed at a distance, L the mass of the rod M₁, is considered to be placed in its center of mass, which by uniform e is in its geometric center (x = 0) and the triangular mass M₂, with a distance L₂

The triangular shape of the second object determines that its mass can be considered concentrated in its geometric center (median) that tapers with a vertical line if the triangle is equilateral, the most used shape in measurements.

         M L + M₁ 0 - m₂ L₂ = 0

         M L - m₂ L₂ = 0

         L₂ = \frac{M}{M_{2}} L

From this answer we have several possibilities

* if the two masses are equal then L₂ = L

* If the masses are different, with M₂> M then L₂ = \frac{M}{M_{2}} L

If you are given force and time, you can determine power if you can know watts energy joules distance
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

distance

Explanation:

Distance is the missing quantity. It is needed to estimate the amount of work done by a force, and afterwards it is used to estimate the power, which is the work done over the time it took to complete it.

On what factors does critical velocity depend on
ASHA 777 [7]

Explanation:

The critical velocity is that velocity of liquid flow, up to which its flow is streamlined (laminar)& above which its flow becomes turbulent. It's denoted by Vc & it depends upon: Coefficient of viscosity of liquid (η) Density of liquid. Radius of the tube.
