We can solve this problem by stating that the summation
of momentums must be zero. That is, the momentum at one end of the pivot must
be equal to the momentum at the other end.
Momentum 1 = Momentum 2
Since Momentum is the product of Force and Distance, and
with this rule created, we can say that:
F1 * d1 = F2 * d2
Where,
F1 = 60 lbs
d1 = 2 inches from the pivot
F2 = unknown X
d2 = 3 inches from the pivot
Substituting to the equation to find for F2:
60 lbs * 2 inches = F2 * 3 inches
F2 = 40 lbs
<span>Therefore 40 lbs of upward force must be pushed to open
the valve.</span>

Answer: The distance between the girls is 362.8 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
So we have two triangle rectangles that have a cathetus in common, with a length of 160 meters.
The adjacent angle to this cathetus is 40° for Anna, then the opposite cathetus (the distance between Anna and the tower) can be obtained with the relationship:
Tan(A) = opposite cath/adjacent cath.
Tan(40°) = X/160m
Tan(40°)*160m = 134.3 m
Now, we can do the same thing for Veronica, but in this case the angle adjacent to the tower is 55°
So we have:
Tan(55°) = X/160m
Tan(55°)*160m = X = 228.5 m
And we know that the girls are in opposite sides of the tower, so the distance between the girls is equal to the sum of the distance between each girl and the tower, then the distance between the girls is:
Dist = 228.5m + 134.3m = 362.8m
Zach time of reading every weekend forms a sequence with these terms: 10, 20, 40, 80. On the other hand, that of Victoria forms a sequence with terms: 35, 50, 65, 80. By keenly observing the sequences, Zach's sequence is a geometric sequence with a common ratio equal to 2 and Victoria's sequence is an arithmetic or linear sequence with a common difference of 15. Thus, the answer is letter B.
Proportional reasoning is a form of mathematical reasoning that involves a sense of co-variation and of multiple comparisons, and the ability to mentally store and process several pieces of information. I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!
