Let's apply an equation of equilibrium to the situation: The sum of the moments about the left end of the board must equal 0.
We have three moments to add. Positive force values indicate upward direction and negative values indicate downward direction. All distances given below are measured to the right side of the left end of the board:
- The weight of the board, -125N, located at 2m (center of the board due to its uniform density)
- The tension in the right chain, +250N, located at 4m
- The weight of the person, -500N, located at a distance "x"
The sum of the moments must equal 0 and is given by:
ΣFx = 0
F is the magnitude of force, x = distance from the left end of the board
Plug in all of the force and distance values and solve for x:
ΣFx = 250(4) - 125(2) - 500x = 0
500x = 750
x = 1.5m
Well, F = ma
and a= change in vel / change in time
= (2-0 ) / 1 = 2 m^2/s
so, F= 4* 2 = 8 N
and W = F.S = 8 * 2 = 16 J
hope it helped
Answer:
It states that the time rate of change of the momentum of a body is equal in both magnitude and direction to the force imposed on it. ... The momentum of a body is equal to the product of its mass and its velocity.
0 m/s, the ball will stop before transferring to the force of gravity on earth (-9.8 m/s^2) starts acting on it.
