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:
The explosive force experienced by the shell inside the barrel is 23437500 newtons.
Explanation:
Let suppose that shells are not experiencing any effect from non-conservative forces (i.e. friction, air viscosity) and changes in gravitational potential energy are negligible. The explosive force experienced by the shell inside the barrel can be estimated by Work-Energy Theorem, represented by the following formula:
(1)
Where:
- Explosive force, measured in newtons.
- Barrel length, measured in meters.
- Mass of the shell, measured in kilograms.
,
- Initial and final speeds of the shell, measured in meters per second.
If we know that ,
,
and
, then the explosive force experienced by the shell inside the barrel is:
The explosive force experienced by the shell inside the barrel is 23437500 newtons.
