We can solve the problem by requiring the equilibrium of the forces and the equilibrium of torques.
1) Equilibrium of forces:
where
is the weight of the person
is the weight of the scaffold
Re-arranging, we can write the equation as
(1)
2) Equilibrium of torques:
where 3 m and 2 m are the distances of the forces from the center of mass of the scaffold.
Using
and replacing T1 with (1), we find
from which we find
And then, substituting T2 into (1), we find
5.91(approx) seconds just divide velocity by acceleration
Answer:
D
Explanation:
According to newton's 2nd law rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the force applied on the body. Since, net Force is zero this means momentum did not change or momentum of the body remained constant.
Hence, the system have constant value of momentum. Therefore, option D is correct.
Answer:
Explanation:
so a mechanical wave transfers energy through a medium but unlike other waves that move through very long distances
the distance of the mechanical wave is different
Answer:
The required new pressure is 775 mm hg.
Explanation:
We are given that gas has a volume of 185 ml and a pressure of 310 mm hg. The desired volume is 74.0 ml.
We have to find the required new pressure.
Let the required new pressure be '
'.
As we know that Boyle's law formula states that;
where, 
= original pressure of gas in the container = 310 mm hg
= required new pressure
= volume of gas in the container = 185 ml
= desired new volume of the gas = 74 ml
So, 
= 775 mm hg
Hence, the required new pressure is 775 mm hg.
