Correct answer choice is:
D. A continuous transmission of energy from one location to the next.
Explanation:
Waves include the carrier of energy without the carrier of matter. In outcome, a wave can be characterized as a change that progresses into a medium, carrying energy from one spot (its source) to different spot without carrying matter.
To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to equilibrium, for this specific case, through the sum of torques.

If the distance in which the 600lb are applied is 6in, we will have to add the unknown Force sum, at a distance of 27in - 6in will be equivalent to that required to move the object. So,



So, Force that must be applied at the long end in order to lift a 600lb object to the short end is 171.42lb
Answer:
According to Hook's law, we know,
strain/stress =Constant
Explanation: So, the ratio between stress and strain is always constant.
So, if stress is increased, then strain changes in that way so that this ratio always remains constant.
