I think the answer is 96.
Answer:
(a) 218.6 N
(b) 97.14 N
Step-by-step explanation:
When the system is in equilibrium, the net torque on the system is zero.
AC = 1.5 m, CD = 2.3 m, DB = 5 - 1.5 - 2.3 = 1.2 m
Let the centre of gravity of plank is at G.
AG = 2.5 m, CG = 2.5 - 1.5 = 1 m, GB = 2.5 m
(a) Let the reaction at C is R and at D is R'.
R + R' = 29 x 9.8 = 284.2 N ... (1)
Take the torque about C.
29 x 9.8 x CG = R' x GD
29 x 9.8 x 1 = R' x 1.3
R' = 218.6 N
(b) Take the torque about D.
6 x 9.8 x AD = R x CD
6 x 9.8 x (1.5 + 2.3) = R x 2.3
R = 97.14 N
The first choice can be any one of the 8 side dishes.
For each of these . . .
The 2nd choice can be any one of the remaining 7.
Total number of ways to pick 2 out of 8 = (8 x 7) = 56 ways .
BUT ...
That doesn't mean you can get 56 different sets of 2 side dishes.
For each different pair, there are 2 ways to choose them . . .
(first A then B), and (first B then A). Either way, you wind up with (A and B).
So yes, there are 56 different 'WAYS' to choose 2 out of 8.
But there are only 28 different possible results, and 2 'ways'
to get each result.
it is true; just work them out, you should get what they got :))
