The illustration in figure below shows a uniform metre rule weighing 30 N pivoted on a wedge placed under the 40 cm mark and car

rying a weight of 70 N hanging 2 from the 10 cm mark. The ruler is balanced horizontally by a weight W hanging from the 100 cm mark. Calculate the value of the weight W.

Answer:

W = 30 N

Explanation:

Applying the summation of torques about the wedge for equilibrium, taking the clockwise direction as negative. Since the ruler is balanced horizontally about the wedge. Therefore, the summation of all torques acting about the wedge must be equal to zero.

(70\ N)(40\ cm - 10\ cm)-(30\ N)(50\ cm-40\ cm)-(W)(100\ cm - 40\ cm) = 0\\W(60\ cm) = (70\ N)(30\ cm)-(30\ N)(10\ cm)\\\\W = \frac{1800\ N.cm}{60\ cm}

<u>W = 30 N</u>

jekas [21]

Answer:

F_2 = 29.54 N

Explanation:

As we know that the combination is maintained at rest position

So we will take net torque on the system to be ZERO

so we know that

\tau = \vec r \times \vec F

here we will have

\vec r_1 \times F_1 = \vec r_2 \times F_2

so we have

13 \times 50 = 22 \times F_2

so we have

F_2 = \frac{13 \times 50}{22}

F_2 = 29.54 N
