N weight is suspended by two cords as shown above. What can you say about the tension in the two cords?

kg woman stands on the very end of a uniform board, of length ?, which is supported one-quarter of the way from one end and is balanced ahown above. What is the mass of the board?

The tension in both cords is 5.0 N. The tension in cord B is greater than that in cord A. The tension in both cords is equal but not 5.0 N. The tension in cord A is greater than that in cord B. A 10.0-N weight is suspended by two cords as shown above. What can you say about the tension in the two cords? What can you say about the tension in the two cords?

Explanation / Answer

1) The tension in cord A is greater than that in cord B. Because A is steeper than B.


2) 60 kg. Because the center of gravity of the board is at 1/2 l, same distance from the support as the woman, thus balancing out the moment.
