    Question about the moment/torque principle

    the thing is... i guess I'm looking at this wrong. i guess i have a trouble separating the two notions of torque and weight.

    Question about the moment/torque principle

    the weight... is the weight will be the same in both cases?

    Question about the moment/torque principle

    ok... but you didn't answer. yes I mean by "weight" as something that you messure with scales, like in vegetables shop. So will there be a difference in what the scales show between (5*2=5*2) and (5*2=10*1) scenarios?

    Question about the moment/torque principle

    what do you mean "doesn't mean anything"? I want to know if I to try to messure the weight of the board at the center, will it be different in the two scenarios ? (as you said it will be different, 15 and 20).

    Question about the moment/torque principle

    wait... let me get it clear. 1) so you say that the distance of the objects will not effect on the total weight of the system when meassured at the fulcrum point (center)? 2) so there is a difference of total weight between scenarios (5kg*2meter=5kg*2meter) and (5kg*2meter=10kg*1meter)? Even...

    Question about the moment/torque principle

    Let me keep talking on this problem so you might see where I have a problem. Now after thinking about it, my logic tells me that even after moving the weights further apart, the total weight of the system supposed to be still 15 kg. I mean they say that center of mass is a point at which all the...

    Question about the moment/torque principle

    Hi. We all know that example where they show you a balancing lever on a fulcrum, with 2 weights on each side. And you have the equation F1L1=F2L2. (F=force, L= distance) But my question is different... Does the total weight of the lever applied on the fulcrum changes with the distance of the...

    Atmospheric pressure per square cm

    Ohh so you say my mistake is how I calculate square area? So an area of 2cm^2 isn't equale to a square with sides of length 2 cm?

    Atmospheric pressure per square cm

    Hi, I have a problem to understand one small thing. They say that air pressure per square cm at sea level is approximately 1 kg. So at 2 sq cm it will be 2 kg, at 3 sq cm it will be 3 kg etc. But... Here where I have a problem. The thing is that inside 2 square cm you can put 4 one square cm...
