Aperson carries a plank of wood 2.00 m long with one hand pushing down on it at one end with a force f1 and the other hand holding it up at .500 m from the end of the plank with force f2 . if the plank has a mass of 20.0 kg and its center of gravity is at the middle of the plank, what are the magnitudes of the forces f1 and f2 ?

F₁ = 4,120.2 N

F₂ = 3,924N

Explanation:

1) Balance of angular momentum around the end where F₁ is applied.

F₂ × 0.5m - F₁ × 0 = mass × g × 1m

⇒ F2 × 0.5 m= 20 kg × 9.81 m/s² × 1 m = 1,962 N×m

F₂ = 196.2 Nm / 0.5m = 3,924 N

2) Balance of forces

F₁ - F₂ = mg

F₁ = F₂ + mg = 3,924N + 20kg (9.81 m/s²) = 4,120.2 N

i think its

the working equation for the angular size is the product of the physical size and 360 degrees divided by the product of two pi and distance from earth. the minimum size would be 0.559 degrees while the maximum size would be 0.49 degrees.
