    Unit Conversion: Solving for Speed of Water Flow

    ok thanks, that's clears things a little. on another problem i have to determine the pressure on wing two. airplane mass: 1.60 x 10^4 wing one area : 40m^2 wing two area : 40m^2 pressure on wing one : 7.00 x 10^4 pressure on wing 2: ? F= PA mg = P1A1 + P2A2 mg = A(P1 + P2) mg -P1...

    Finding the Center of Mass in Equilibrium

    thanks t.t.! i got it. i do have another question on a problem involving a rotating disk. how do i relate \tau = I\alpha to F = \mu\muN ? i need to find \mu as a force of 70N is applied to the disk. all work for torque i have is completed. i just need to do the above.

    Finding the Center of Mass in Equilibrium

    ok so maybe i was over thinking it and misreading it. Newtons are forces not mass. and you're right, what i had before doesn't equal to zero. now i have: Fy: N1 + N2 - mg = 0 T: N1(2) - mg(2-x) + N2(0) = 0 this seems simple but i don't know, i can't get it.

    Finding the Center of Mass in Equilibrium

    Homework Statement A light plank 2 meters long rests on two scales with a girl laying across the plank. The mass on the left(head) is 380N and at the other end(feet), the mass is 320N. How far from the girl's feet is the center of mas? Homework Equations net F = 0 net T = 0 because...
