You have two non- the rod balances about a empty buckets are negligible compared to the weight of the water. Which bucket holds more water? ets which you attach to a 1.43 m long rod. Since the buckets are not identical, you find that t point 0.0271 m from its midpoint, as shown below. The weight of the rod and O bucket 1 O bucket2 0.0271 m they hold the same amount of water Fill in the blank The heavier bucket contains water than the lighter bucket does. % more O Previous Check Answer NextxL o_#É @oo eExplanation / Answer
a)
Bucket 2
b)
Applying torque equation about balancing point
W1(L/2 + 0.0271) =W2(L/2 - 0.0271)
W1/W2 = (1.43/2 - 0.0271)/(1.43/2+0.0271)
W1/W2 =0.927
W2/W1 =1/0.927 =1.0788
W2=W1+(7.88%)W1
The heavier bucker is 7.88 % more water than the lighter bucket
