Question

Print Calculator Periodic Table While on a camping trip, you would like to carry water from the lake to your campsite. You have two non- identical buckets which you attach to a 1.19 m long rod. Since the b ets are not identical, you find that the rod balances about a point 7.51 cm from its midpoint, as shown below. The weight of the rod and empty buckets are negligible compared to the weight of the water, Which bucket holds more water? O bucket 1 7.51 em O they hold the same amount of water O bucket 2 Fill in the blank The heavier bucket contains more water than the lighter bucket.

Explanation / Answer

here ,

Moment is given as = F*distance

as the point of balance is closer to the bucket 2 ,

it is the heavier , bucket 2 is heavier

Now .

M1*g*(1.19/2 +0.0751) - M2*g * (1.19/2 -0.0751) = 0

M1 * 0.6701 - M2 * 0.5199 - 0

M2/M1 = 0.6701/0.5199

M2/M1 = 1.289

hence , extra water in 2 = 1.289M1 - M1 = 0.289M1

extra water = 0.289 = 28.9 %

the heaverier bucket carrier 28.9 % more water
