Answer:
Wg is positive and WT negative.
(Letters in options are all wrongly written).
Explanation:
Remember that the work of a force is the internal product between the force and the displacement .
Since the displacement is downwards like the weight, the work done by gravity is positive, while the work done by the tension is negative since it points upwards.
Answer:
b. 1.1 m
Explanation:
It is given that the total distance between the masses is equal to the length of the board, which is 3 m. Therefore,
where,
s₁ = distance of fulcrum from left mass
s₂ = distance of fulcrum from right mass
In order to achieve balance, the torque due to both masses must be equal:
s₁ = 1.1 m
Hence, the correct option is:
<u>b. 1.1 m</u>
