A cat walks along a plank with mass M= 6.00 kg. The plank is supported by two sawhorses. The center of mass of the plank is a di

stance d1= 0.850 m to the left of sawhorse B. When the cat is a distance d2= 1.11 m to the right of sawhorse B, the plank just begins to tip.
If the cat has a mass of 2.9 kg, how far to the right of sawhorse B can it walk before the plank begins to tip?

Answer:

d₂ = 1.466 m

Explanation:

In this case we must use the rotational equilibrium equations

        Στ = 0

        τ = F r

we must set a reference system, we use with origin at the easel B and an axis parallel to the plank , we will use that the counterclockwise ratio is positive

      + W d₁ - w_cat d₂ = 0

      d₂ = W / w d₁

      d₂ = M /m d₁

      d₂ = 5.00 /2.9    0.850

      d₂ = 1.466 m

A certain bridge is 4,224 feet long. What constant rate, in miles per hour, must be maintained in order to walk across the bridg
Archy [21]

Answer:

4miles/hour

Explanation:

the solution for this question requires that the quantities are converted to the appropriate units as required by the question.

Rate in miles per hour = distance in miles / time in hour

to convert 12 minutes to hours; recall that 60 minutes make 1 hour

12 minutes to hour = 12/60 = 0.2hr

to convert 4224 feet to miles; recall 5280 feet is equivalent to 1 mile

4224 feet to miles = 4224/5280 = 0.8 miles

∴ rate = 0.8 / 0.2

rate = 4 miles per hour

the constant rate in miles per hour = 4 miles/hour
