Answer:
Explanation:
The concept of elastic and inelastic demand is applied.
for an elastic demand, the elasticity must be greater than 1 and for an Inelastic demand, the elasticity must be less than 1.
The steps and appropriate calculation is as shown in the attached file.
Answer:
1.28 m
Explanation:
As shown in the diagram attached,
According to the principle of moment,
For a body at equilibrium,
Sum of clockwise moment = sum of anticlockwise moment.
Taking moment about the pivot,
W₁(1.6)+W(0.133) = W₂(x)............... Equation 1
Where W₁ = Weight of the first child, Wₓ = Weight of the seesaw, W₂ = weight of the second child, x = distance of the second child from the pivot.
But,
W = mg
Where g = 9.8 m/s², m = mass of the body
Therefore,
W₁ = 26×9.8 = 254.8 N,
Wₓ = 18×9.8 = 176.4 N
W₂ = 34.4×9.8 = 337.12 N
Substitute these values into equation 1
(254.8×1.6)+(176.4×0.133) = 337.12(x)
407.68+23.4612 = 337.12x
337.12x = 431.1412
x = 431.1412/337.12
x = 1.2789
x ≈ 1.28 m
◈ As per newton's second law of motion, Force is defined as the product of mass and acceleration
Mathematically,
Unit of mass : kg
Unit of acceleration : m/s²
Therefore,
Unit of force ➠ <u>kg m/s²</u>
SI unit : <u>N (newton)</u> or <u>kg m/s²</u>
