let the distance of pillar is "r" from one end of the slab
So here net torque must be balance with respect to pillar to be in balanced state
So here we will have

here we know that
mg = 19600 N
Mg = 400,000 N
L = 20 m
from above equation we have



so pillar is at distance 10.098 m from one end of the slab
Answer:
a. 250kg I think it's the right answer. hope it helps:)
Answer:
B. 
Explanation:
Assuming we are dealing with a perfect gas, we should use the perfect gas equation:

With T the temperature, V the volume, P the pressure, R the perfect gas constant and n the number of mol, we are going to use the subscripts i for the initial state when the gas has 20 cubic inches of volume and absolute pressure of 5 psi, and final state when the gas reaches 10 psi, so we have two equations:
(1)
(2)
Assuming the temperature and the number of moles remain constant (number of moles remain constant if we don't have a leak of gas) we should equate equations (1) and (2) because
,
and R is an universal constant:
, solving for 


Meter #2 is more precise.
There's no information here that tells us which meter is more accurate.
350kg because to get Newton’s it’s mass x Gravity, earths gravity is x10 so 3500 divided by 10 is 350
