To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to equilibrium, for this specific case, through the sum of torques.
If the distance in which the 600lb are applied is 6in, we will have to add the unknown Force sum, at a distance of 27in - 6in will be equivalent to that required to move the object. So,
So, Force that must be applied at the long end in order to lift a 600lb object to the short end is 171.42lb
Answer:
14869817.395 m
Explanation:
=22 microarcsecond
λ = Wavelength = 1.3 mm
Converting to radians we get
From Rayleigh Criterion
Diameter of the effective primary objective is 14869817.395 m
It is not possible to build one telescope with a diameter of 14869817.395 m. But, we need this type of telescope. So, astronomers use an array of radio telescopes to achieve a virtual diameter in order to observe objects that are the size of supermassive black hole's event horizon.
