To determine
How would you represent the solar system on a small scale which can depict a walk from sun to Pluto in few minutes?
- The planets are the size of basketballs and the nearest stars are few miles away
- The planets are marble size or smaller and the nearest stars are thousands of miles away.
- The planets are microscopic and the stars are light years away.

Calculate the anti-clockwise torque and the clockwise torque of the system with the ruler and the washers. Record these values in Data Table 5. Ruler = 11.56 g, small washer = 1.85 g, large washer = 24.30 g.
Calculate the % Difference in the Torques and record the values in Data Table 5.
Is ΣAnticlockwise torque and Anticlockwise torque the same thing, are they solved in the same way?
A window washer stands on a uniform plank of mass M = 142 kg and length l = 2.80 m supported by 2 ropes attached at the ends of the plank. The window washer has a mass m = 68.0 kg. What is the tension in each of the ropes, T1 and T2, if the window washer's displacement from the center of mass of the plank is x = 0.930 m as shown in Figure 1: Window Washer Problem?

- A man holds a double-sided spherical mirror so that he is looking directly into its convex surface, 33 cm from his face. The magnification of the image of his face is +0.17. What will be the image distance when he reverses the mirror (looking into its concave surface), maintaining the same distance between the mirror and his face? Be sure to include the algebraic sign (+ or -) with your answer.arrow_forwardHow do you draw a diagram of the ruler and mass system in equilibrium identifying the anti-clockwise torque and clockwise torque?
