& Touch detector You have two force sensors connected to a computer and a meter stick of known mass. The sensors are used to keep the stick horizontal; there are no other supports. You push on the stick with your finger in an arbitrary location. (a) Design an experimental setup that will allow you to determine the magnitude of your pushing force F and the location of your finger x based on the readings of the two force sensors. (b) Derive an expression that can be used as a computer algorithm to calculate x and F using the readings of the force sensors and the parameters of your setup. (c) Evaluate the expression, analyzing the limiting cases.

- Mick and Rick are twins born on Earth in the year 2175. Rick grows up to be an Earth-bound robotics technician while Mick becomes an intergalactic astronaut. Mick leaves the Earth on his first space mission in the year 2200 and travels, according to his clock, for 10 years at a speed of 0.75c. Unfortunately, at this point in his journey, the structure of his ship undergoes mechanical breakdown and the ship explodes. How old is Rick when his brother dies?arrow_forwardHi, I have canceled, why did you charge me again?arrow_forwardNo chatgpt pls will upvotearrow_forward
