Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The easier way to figure this is by using the concept of torque in physics. If the torque of the man is greater than that experienced by the box, the lever will tilt in the man's favor (in other words, he will move down and the box will be lifted). Torque is found by multiplying the perpendicular force by the length of the lever arm. Because we want the man's torque to be greater than the box's torque, the inequality is:

\tau_{man}>\tau_{box} and

180r>500(.1524) That decimal is 6 inches in terms of meters.

180r > 76.2 so

r > .42 meters or `16.67 inches. The man has to sit at a distance greater than 16.67 inches in order for the box to be lifted by the lever.

Find the length of side x in simplest radical form with a rational denominator
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

The length of x=3/1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the right triangle

Ф = 30

We know that

sin Ф = opposite/hypotenuse

The opposite of angle 30° = x

The hypotenuse is = 6

so

sin 30 = opposite/hypotenuse

    1/2      = x/6           ∵ sin 30 = 1/2

     1/2 × 6 = x

     6/2 = x

       3/1 = x

Therefore, the length of x=3/1
