Help and explain please

a) Moment = 200N.m

              b) F = 500N

Explanation: Moment or Torque is the tendency of a body to rotate because of an aplplied force. It can be calculated as

F is force applied

r is distance from the force to the point of rotation

θ is the angle formed between force and distance

a) Since F and r are perpendicular, θ=90°, sin90° = 1, so

200

Torque caused by weight of the barrier at the pivot is 200N.m

b) Counterweight has the same torque as pivot: 200

So, to find Force necessary to balance the weight:

F = 500

It is necessary a force of 500N from the counterweight to balance the weight.

before we can answer, we have to see the choices that are printed there with the question.   that's the only way we can point you to the correct one.

answer; (d) spontaneous processes are characterized by the overall conversion of order to disorder;
