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:
The magnitude of the average frictional force on the block is 2 N.
Explanation:
Given that.
Mass of the block, m = 2 kg
Initial velocity of the block, u = 10 m/s
Distance, d = 50 m
Finally, it stops, v = 0
Let a is the acceleration of the block. It can be calculated using third equation of motion. It can be given by :
The frictional force on the block is given by the formula as :
F = ma
|F| = 2 N
So, the magnitude of the average frictional force on the block is 2 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
