Answer: F = 20 N

Explanation:

I will ASSUME that the fulcrum is at the center of gravity of the lever arm, This means that the lever arm itself creates no moment about the fulcrum because there is no moment arm for that particular force.

To solve, we sum moments about any convenient point to zero (zero because there is no acceleration in the F = ma equation)

The easiest convenient point is the fulcrum

30((90/2) - 15) - F(90/2) = 0

           30(30) = F(45)

                    F = 900/45 = 20 N

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

b) Gravity

Explanation:

Gravity acts all of the time, when you apply force to a projectile it has to be more than the forces of the gravity and air resistance together so the projectile can move,  when the rock is at the top of its trajectory the force that you applied at the beginning is getting lost, so the other forces (air resistance and gravity) make the rock fall to the floor.
