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>

<span>Answer: B</span>

A bin of 5 transistors is known to contain 2 that are defective. The transistors are to be tested, one at a time, until the defe
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

P(N_1 = a , N_2 = b)= \frac{1}{5-a C 1} * \frac{5-a C 1}{5C2} = \frac{1}{5C2}=\frac{1}{10}

Step-by-step explanation:

For the random variable N_1 we define the possible values for this variable on this case [1,2,3,4,5] . We know that we have 2 defective transistors so then we have 5C2 (where C means combinatory) ways to select or permute the transistors in order to detect the first defective:

5C2 = \frac{5!}{2! (5-2)!}= \frac{5*4*3!}{2! 3!}= \frac{5*4}{2*1}=10

We want the first detective transistor on the ath place, so then the first a-1 places are non defective transistors, so then we can define the probability for the random variable N_1 like this:

P(N_1 = a) = \frac{5-a C 1}{5C2}

For the distribution of N_2 we need to take in count that we are finding a conditional distribution. N_2 given N_1 =a, for this case we see that N_2 \in [1,2,...,5-a], so then exist 5-a C 1 ways to reorder the remaining transistors. And if we want b additional steps to obtain a second defective transistor we have the following probability defined:

P(N_2 =b | N_1 = a) = \frac{1}{5-a C 1}

And if we want to find the joint probability we just need to do this:

P(N_1 = a , N_2 = b) = P(N_2 = b | N_1 = a) P(N_1 =a)

And if we multiply the probabilities founded we got:

P(N_1 = a , N_2 = b)= \frac{1}{5-a C 1} * \frac{5-a C 1}{5C2} = \frac{1}{5C2}=\frac{1}{10}

I am taking my first programming course, so my apologies if this is a dumb question/possibly classified by the wrong category on this site. One of the exercise problems I am working on is the following:

Define a function print_total_inches, with parameters num_feet and num_inches, that prints the total number of inches. Note: There are 12 inches in a foot. Ex:

print_total_inches(5, 8) prints:

Total inches: 68

Pietro made 18 baskets during a basketball game.The number of 3 pointers are 3 more than half of the 2 point shots.how many type
blagie [28]

Total points is 23

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Total number of baskets = 18

Let the number of 2 pointer shots be x

Let the number of 3 pointer shots be y

According to the question:

y = \frac{x}{2} + 3                  -1

The equation can be formed as:

\frac{x}{2} + 3 + x = 18

On solving this equation further we get:

\frac{x+6+2x}{2} = 18\\\\9x = 36\\\\x = 4

Putting the value of x = 4 in equation 1

y = \frac{x}{2}+3\\ \\y = \frac{4}{2} + 3\\\\y = 5

Points for 2 pointer shots = 4 X 2

                                        = 8

Points for 3 pointer shots = 5 X 3

                                        = 15

Total points = 8 + 15

                  = 23

Therefore, total points is 23
