A 20.0-kg uniform plank (10.0 m long) is supported by the floor at one end and by a vertical rope at the other as shown in the figure. A 50.0-kg mass person stands on the plank a distance three-fourths of the length plank from the end on the floor.

Tension= 475N

Force= 225N

Explanation:

The question is not complete, here is the complete question

Also, see attached a free body diagram for your reference

"A 20.0-kg uniform plank is supported by the floor at one end by a vertical rope at the other as shown in the figure. A 50.0-kg mass person stands on the plank a distance three-fourths of the length plank from the end on the floor.

a. What is the tension in the rope?

b. What is the magnitude of the force that the floor exerts on the plank?"

given data

mass of man=50kg

mass of plank=20kg

length of plank=10m

let us make the lenght of the rope be d

The torque about the floor

That is taking moment about the floor

Force will be also zero  

most voltage drop calculators want the distance between the source and destination. then internally, they double it so both the source and return wires are calculated. but you need to know which distance the calculator uses so you're not half of what you should be or double what you should be.

most circuit breakers will not take a #6 directly, so the electrician will have to splice on a smaller pigtail. you also have to upsize the grounding wire when you upsized the ungrounded (hot) wire (see note in 250.122). this will preclude using most cable assemblies, as a cable with #6 copper will most likely only have a #10 grounding conductor. you need a #6 grounding conductor if the circuit is 20a. a #8 cable is no better, as it will have a #10 grounding conductor too. but most 20a breakers will take a #8 directly.

in your related post, you didn't say what type of load this is. if it is a light or heater, voltage drop won't be a big issue. if this is a motor, the current needs are huge at startup and the voltage drop can pose a problem. if this is a motor, knowing if the motor is under much load during startup will answer the voltage drop effect (a saw is easier to start than a compressor).
