Answer:

Explanation:
As we know that melting point of silver is
T = 961.8 degree C
Latent heat of fusion of silver is given as
L = 111 kJ/kg
specific heat capacity of silver is given as

now we will have



now from above equation



If the rod is in rotational equilibrium, then the net torques acting on it is zero:
∑ τ = 0
Let's give the system a counterclockwise orientation, so that forces that would cause the rod to rotate counterclockwise act in the positive direction. Compute the magnitudes of each torque:
• at the left end,
τ = + (50 N) (2.0 m) = 100 N•m
• at the right end,
τ = - (200 N) (5.0 m) = - 1000 N•m
• at a point a distance d to the right of the pivot point,
τ = + (300 N) d
Then
∑ τ = 100 N•m - 1000 N•m + (300 N) d = 0
⇒ (300 N) d = 1100 N•m
⇒ d ≈ 3.7 m
Answer: The softer barrier is the better option
Explanation:
1) When is a car is moving at a certain speed, it has a certain amount of momentum (p=mv). A collision against a barrier would cause its momentum to decrease to 0. A change in momentum is Impulse
2) The formula for Impulse: J = f * Δt
J is Impulse
f is the force applied during the time Δt
A tough barrier would produce a smaller Δt, which means more force is applied on the car. (J is always constant)
A softer barrier would apply less force on the car, which means Δt is large.
Answer: The softer barrier is the better option
