I need an answer fast plz

L = 1.5 [m]

Explanation:

To find the Force Z we must perform a sum of forces on the Y-axis equal to zero, (it is equal to zero since there is no movement, the beam is in equilibrium).

ΣFy = 0

- 30 - 20 - 40 + Z = 0

Z = 90 [N]

Now to find the length of the beam, we must perform a sum of moments equal to zero at the midpoint of the beam, where the load Z is applied.it is important to clarify that the moment generated by the force of 30[N] tends to rotate the beam counterclockwise (is taken as positive), while the load of 20 [N], tends to rotate the beam Clockwise (is taken as negative).

ΣM = 0

+ (30*0.5) - (20*x) = 0

15 = 20*x

x = 15/20

x = 0.75 [m] (this is the half of the distance)

L = 2*x

L = 2*0.75

L = 1.5 [m]

answer: the exterior temperature of commercial jet planes as they leave the stratosphere and return to the ground increases steadily.

explanation:

the lower most layer of atmosphere is troposphere which extends from 0 to 12 km above the surface of the earth. the temperature initially decreases as distance is increased from the earth's surface. commercial jets fly in lower part of the stratosphere. the stratosphere extends upto 50 km. the temperature in stratosphere starts rising again due to presence of ozone which traps the uv rays.

thus, when the planes leave the stratosphere and return to the ground, the exterior temperature increases steadily.
