Answer:
mass ranked largest to smallest.
D 200 kg, A 100 kg, B 100 kg, C 50 kg, E 33.33 kg.
Explanation:
Question is completed using google.
Use principle of moments about the point which will act as pivot when the plank tip over i.e. the edge of surface, to solve this question.
mass 1*moment arm 1=mass 2*moment arm 2
Figure A:
m*1.5=100*1.5
m=150/1.5=100 kg
figure b:
m*0.75=100*0.75
m=75/0.075=100 kg
figure c:
m*1.5=100*0.75
m=75/1.5=50 kg
figure d:
m*1.5=200*1.5
m=300/1.5=200 kg
figure e:
m*1.5=100*0.5
m=50/1.5=33.33 kg
