Two boxes on opposite ends of a massless board that is 3.0 m long. The board is supported in the middle by a fulcrum. The box on the left has a mass (m1) of 25 kg, and the box on the right has a mass (m2) of 15kg. How far should the fulcrum be positioned from the left side of the board in order to balance the masses horizontally? a. 0.38 m
b. 1.1 m
c. 0.60 m
d. 1.9 m

b. 1.1 m

Explanation:

It is given that the total distance between the masses is equal to the length of the board, which is 3 m. Therefore,

where,

s₁ = distance of fulcrum from left mass

s₂ = distance of fulcrum from right mass

In order to achieve balance, the torque due to both masses must be equal:

s₁ = 1.1 m

Hence, the correct option is:

b. 1.1 m

when jerome paddle in flowing river towards east the net speed of jerome will increase

so the net speed of jerome will be given as

now the speed of paul will be same as it is given as he is running on the ground

so

so here we can say since the speed of jerome is more so he will win the race

now as we know the distance so the time difference is given as

so jerome will reach first and the time difference will be 203.55 s or 3.4 min
