In summary, the length of the non-uniform is 3.8 meters and its weight is 560 Newtons. The unit of measurement for the length is meters and the unit for weight is Newtons. The weight of the non-uniform is determined by multiplying its mass (in kilograms) by the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²). The length of the non-uniform does not directly affect its weight, but the shape and distribution of its mass may impact its weight distribution and center of gravity.

Homework Statement



A non-uniform is 3.8-m long and has a weight of 560.-n. The bar is balanced in a horizontal position when it is supported at its geometric center and a 340.-n is suspended 0.70-m from the bar's light end. Sketch this system and find the bar's center of gravity.

Homework Equations



Sum of torques.

Autosum of Tc=Tcc

The Attempt at a Solution



I have no clue. We've done examples like this; however, not like this one. :/

I did try, however, multiplying (3.8-m) (560.-n)= (340.-n)(0.70mx) That answer was totally wrong.

1. What is the length of the non-uniform?

The length of the non-uniform is 3.8 meters.

2. What is the weight of the non-uniform?

The weight of the non-uniform is 560 Newtons.

3. What is the unit of measurement for the length and weight?

The unit of measurement for the length is meters and the unit for weight is Newtons.

4. How is the weight of the non-uniform determined?

The weight of the non-uniform is determined by multiplying its mass (in kilograms) by the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²).

5. How does the length of the non-uniform affect its weight?

The length of the non-uniform does not directly affect its weight. The weight is determined by the mass and acceleration due to gravity, which are not affected by length. However, the shape and distribution of the non-uniform's mass may impact its weight distribution and center of gravity.
