A6-ft-long fishing rod ab is securely anchored in the sand of a beach. after a fish takes the bait, the resulting force in the line is 8.6 lb. determine the moment about a of the force exerted by the line at b. (round the final answer to one decimal place.)

Beryl states that insulation with the smallest possible thermal conductivity is best to keep a house warm in winter, but worst for keeping a house cool in summer. sapphire insists the reverse is true: low thermal conductivity is good in the summer, but bad in the winter. which one, if either is correct? a. beryl, because low thermal conductivity results in low heat transfer. b. beryl, because low thermal conductivity results in high heat transfer. d. sapphire, because low thermal conductivity results in high heat transfer. e. neither, because low heat transfer is desirable both in summer and in winter.
