A woman who weighs 500 N stands on an 8.0-m-long board that weighs 100 N. The board is supported at each end. The support force

at the right end is 3 times the support force at the left end. How far from the right end is the woman standing?

Answer:

The woman's distance from the right end is 1.6m = (8-6.4)m.

The principles of moments about a point or axis running through a point and summation of forces have been used to calculate the required variable.

Principle of moments: the sun of clockwise moments must be equal to the sun of anticlockwise moments.

Also the sun of upward forces must be equal to the sun of downward forces.

Theses are the conditions for static equilibrium.

Explanation:

The step by step solution can be found in the attachment below.

Thank you for reading this solution and I hope it is helpful to you.

The mass of the uniform cantilever is 1100 kg. Determine the force on the beam at A. Determine the force on the beam at B. Use C
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Force A=-−2,697.75 N

Force B=13, 488.75 N

Explanation:

Taking moments at point A, the sum of clockwise and anticlockwise moments equal to zero.

25 mg-20Fb=0

25*1100g=20Fb

Fb=25*1100g/20=1375g

Taking g as 9.81 then Fb=1375*9.81=13,488.75 N

The sum of upward and downward forces are same hence Fa=1100g-1375g=-275g

-275*9.81=−2,697.75. Therefore, force A pulls downwards

Note that the centre of gravity is taken to be half the whole length hence half of 50 is 25 m because center of gravity is always at the middle

An atom of arsenic has how many electron-containing orbitals
irina [24]

Answer:

The Arsenic has three electron-containing orbitals. The orbitals s, p and d.

Explanation:

Arsenic is an element with an atomic number equal of 33, it means that it has 33 electrons in its orbitals in the following way:

1s^{2}

2s^{2}

2p^{6}

3s^{2}

3p^{6}

3d^{10}

4s^{2}

4p^{3}

Therefore, the Arsenic has three electron-containing orbitals (s, p d).

A stationary 15 kg object is located in a table near the surface of the earth. The coefficient of static friction between the su
Marta_Voda [28]

The net force acting on the object perpendicular to the table is

∑ F[perp] = F[normal] - mg = 0

where mg is the weight of the object. Then

F[normal] = mg = (15 kg) (9.8 m/s²) = 147 N

The maximum magnitude of static friction is then

0.40 F[normal] = 58.8 N

which means the applied 40 N force is not enough to make the object start to move. So the object has zero acceleration and does not move.
