Answer:

14.4 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

In a see-saw in equilibrium, the torque generated by one side needs to be the same generated in the other side. The torque is calculated by the product between the mass and the distance to the center of the see-saw.

The torque generated by the child is:

T1 = 60 * 3 = 180 lb*feet

So, the torque generated by the weight needs to be higher than T1 in order to lift the child.

The lowest mass is calculated when the mass is in the maximum distance, that is, 12.5 feet from the center.

So, we have that:

T2 = 180 = mass * 12.5

mass = 180/12.5 = 14.4 lb

So the lowest weight is 14.4 lb

stepan [7]
She can fill 5/12 of the pyramid.

The volume of a pyramid is given by the formula 
V = 1/3lwh.  Using our information, we have:

V = 1/3(40)(30)(60) = 24000 cm³

She has 10,000 cm³ of sand; 10000/24000 = 5/12.

Diana drove at an average speed of 50 miles an hour for 1.5 hours.she then drove at an average speed of 42 miles an hour for 2.2
weqwewe [10]

Diana drove 169.5 miles in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

Average speed first = 50 miles

Driving time = 1.5 hours

Distance = Speed*Time

Distance=50*1.5\\Distance=75\ miles

Average speed afterwards = 42 miles

Driving time = 2.25 hours

Distance=Speed*Time

Distance=42*2.25\\Distance=94.5\ miles

Total distance = 75+94.5

Total distance = 169.5 miles

Diana drove 169.5 miles in total.

In a standard game of pool, there are 15 balls labeled 1 through 15. a) In how many ways can the 15 balls be ordered? (5 points)
katovenus [111]

Answer:

<h2>a) 1.308*10¹² ways</h2><h2>b) 455 way</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

If  there are 15 balls labeled 1 through 15 in a standard football game, the order of arrangement of the 15 balls can be done in 15! ways.

15! = 15*14*13*12*11*10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2

15! = 1.308*10¹² ways

b)  If 3 of the 15 balls are to be chosen if order does not matter, this can be done in 15C3 number of ways. Since we are selecting some balls out of the total number of balls, we will use the concept of combination.

Using the combination formula nCr = n!/(n-r)!r!

15C3 = 15!/(15-3)!3!

15C3 = 15!/12!3!

15C3 = 15*14*13*12!/12!*6

15C3 = 15*14*13/6

15C3 = 455 ways
