Why did we use 50 swings to determine T rather than one or two swings I have a general idea of it but I’m not sure.

The rigid beam is supported by the three suspender bars. bars ab and ef are made of aluminum and bar cd is made of steel. if each bar has a cross-sectional area of 450 mm2, determine the maximum value of p if the allowable stress is (σallow)st = 200 mpa for the steel and ( σallow)al = 150 mpa for the aluminum. est = 200 gpa and eal = 70 gpa.

Ameter stick is pivoted at the 0.50-m line. a 3.0-kg object is hung from the 0.15-m line. where should a 5.0-kg object be hung to achieve equilibrium (the meter stick oriented horizontal and motionless)?

Alead ball is dropped into a lake from a diving board 5m above the water . it hits the water with a certain velocity and then sink with constant velocity in bottom . it reaches the bottom 5 second after it is dropped if g= 10m/s2 . find depth of the lake and average velocity of the ball ?
