Hope it cleared your doubt.
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?
1 answer:
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.

Answer:
Acceleration will increase.
Explanation:
The relation between force, mass and acceleration according to the Newton's second law of motion is given as:
F = ma
We are given that the driving force on the truck remains constant, so F is constant here. We can rewrite the above equation as:
Since, F is constant, the acceleration of the truck is inversely proportional to the mass.
There is a hole at the bottom of the truck through which the sand is being lost at a constant rate. Since, the sand is being lost, the overall mass of the truck is being reduced.
Since, the acceleration of the truck is inversely proportional to the mass, the reduced mass will result in an increased acceleration.
So, the acceleration of the truck will increase.
