When the system is in equilibrium, the sum of the moment about a point is

zero.

Force \ shown  \ by \  the  \ scale \  under \  the \  right  \ pillar \ is \ F = \dfrac{(m_B - 2 \cdot m_D) \cdot g}{2}

Reasons:

Length of the beam = l

Mass of the beam = m_B

Location \ of \  the \  two \  pillars = \dfrac{l}{3}  \  from  \  either  \  end

Mass of the duck = m_D

Required:

Force shown by the scale under the right pillar.

Solution:

The location of the duck = On the left end of the beam

When the system is in equilibrium, we have; ∑M = 0

Taking moment about the left pillar, we get;

Clockwise moment = m_D \times g \times  \dfrac{l}{3} + F \times \dfrac{l}{3}

Anticlockwise moment = m_B \times g \times  \dfrac{l}{6}

At equilibrium, clockwise moment = Anticlockwise moment

Therefore;

m_D \times g \times  \dfrac{l}{3} + F \times \dfrac{l}{3} = m_B \times g \times  \dfrac{l}{6}

F \times \dfrac{l}{3} = m_B \times g \times  \dfrac{l}{6} - m_D \times g \times  \dfrac{l}{3}

F = \dfrac{m_B \times g \times  \dfrac{l}{6} - m_D \times g \times  \dfrac{l}{3}}{\dfrac{l}{3} }  = \dfrac{(m_B - 2 \cdot m_D) \cdot g}{2}

Force \ shown  \ by \  the  \ scale \  under \  the \  right  \ pillar, \  F = \dfrac{(m_B - 2 \cdot m_D) \cdot g}{2}

A car interior is heated to 48 C by the sun What type of energy transfer?
Aneli [31]

Answer:

Radiation heat energy transfer

Explanation:

The type of heat transfer from the Sun is radiation heat transfer, which is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic radiation

The distance of the Sun to the Earth is several million kilometers away, with the space between being composes of vacuum and the nuclear reaction in the Sun's core generates vast amount of electromagnetic radiation that is transferred all across the universe and reaches the Earth as visible light and radiant energy at the speed of light

The radiant energy transferred from the Sun heats up the Earth, including the car's interior.

Two angles are supplementary. The first angle measures 40°. What is the measurement of the second angle?
e-lub [12.9K]

Supplementary angles add up to 180°. 
If one is 40°, then the other is  (180° - 40°)  =  140° .

None of those choices describes a plane. 
Choice 'C' is the only example of a plane.

A golf club hits a 0.04551 kg golf ball off a golf tee. The club is in contact with the ball for 0.020 s, and the force applied
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

v = 50.5 m/s

Explanation:

F = (m)(^v/^t)

115N = (0.04551kg)(v/(0.020s))

2,526.917161 m/s² = v/(0.020s)

v = 50.53834322 m/s

v = 50.5 m/s
