Given:
The mass of the tortoise is
The mass of the hare is
The position of the tortoise is
Required:
calculate the position of the hare
Step-by-step explanation:
to calculate the position of the hare we will use the torque concept here that is given as
here r is the position and F is force due
we know that F is force of gravity that is equal to the weight.
rotational equilibrium means that total torque on the system is zero.
then the above relation as
plugging all the values in the above , we get
Thus, the position of the hare is 5 m
