Prove you are human.

>>22869120 (OP)
200

>>22869123
Correct.

>>22869120 (OP)
It reads ?

>>22869130
Yes, all scales read.

>>22869129
ehehe

>>22869132
I wasn't asking a question

>>22869130
>>22869180
:o

>>22869180
Then why did you use a question mark?

>>22869184
? is what the scale reads

>>22869120 (OP)
100

>>22869187
>>22869188
Incorrect.

>>22869120 (OP)
But isn't this like a physics question? Jeet nigger NPC-future LiveLeak stars know the answer and the physics behind the question and how to do this and that, blah blah blah, better than you do, pal, and they're still NPCs who think they're deserving of human rights because they can answer an old version SAT question and because their skulls also are small and squishable underneath truck wheels.

>>22869191
I'm sorry but that is not the correct answer.

>>22869184
there's a question mark in the OP image, above the scale
that's what he's saying

There's 100N of tension in the rope if it's able to hold a 100N load on either end.

>>22869225
wow 100Niggers of tension. is that a lot?

>>22869120 (OP)
100, normally things that tether weights are completely grounded that doesn't mean they real 100000000000 tons

>>22869225
>>22869241

i need like $200,000,000

>>22869123
>>22869189
>>22869243
You're a fucking idiot if you actually think it's 200N and aren't memeing about it. 200N would violate Newton's third law of equal and opposite forces.

t. licensed engineer

>>22869467
i don't see how it could read anything other than 200
if one end were connected to a fixed point & there were 100N pulling on the other end, it would read 100N
if there's 100N pulling either end in exactly opposite directions, it's gonna read 200N

is that wrong?

i swear to god if you don't respond beyond "you're a fucking idiot, i'm an engineer, newton's 3rd law" i'm gonna start cutting fiber optic lines

>>22869467
There are literally 200N of force total on the rope can you not add?

>>22869241
Incorrect

>>22869504
Don't do that. Some people are just retarded. Don't engage.

>>22869520
i guess so
i wish i understood enough to refute what he said about newton's third law
interesting bird image..

>>22869526
>i wish i understood enough to refute what he said about newton's third law
probably shouldn't care though

Stop being a retard. This is baby's first statics problem and you got it wrong.

https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/45247/trying-to-understand-the-tension-in-a-spring-with-two-weights-attached

This is an extremely well known homework problem and you can literally look up the answer online. The answer is 100N.

>>22869539
shit, ty
i think i understand now
the other examples in that thread helped

>>22869120 (OP)
>>22869129
what do you think about this >>22869539?

>>22869130
lol

that makes me wonder
because the total downward force from these two points would still add up to 200N, right?
it seems like this could have useful applications, it feels liek an exploit almost but idk

>>22869526
Thank you. I'm a fan of secretary birds.

>>22869554
This is why starships are blowing up on the launchpad and Boeing doors fall off. He trusts the science™ he only knows how to go with the consensus.

>>22869611
nah, it makes sense if you read through the thread he linked
imagine what would happen in the OP image if you cut off one of the weights; the other one would pull the rope down from the table & the scale would read 0N the whole time
when you re-attach the other weight, it would read 100N

>>22869605
Think of a counterexample: how would the 100N weight be able to stay in place if the rope was pulling 200N on it? It would fly off into space if the tension wasn't also 100N.

>>22869711
true, checked..
>>22869611
oh you must've been referring to OP or me, not the engineer anon, my bad

>>22869607
>I'm a fan of secretary birds.
their legs are crazy, man

>>22869787
That game needs a remaster. Also this poster is me. >>22869711

>>22869120 (OP)
The scale reads 100 Niggers of force because it would be the same as if it was tied to a wall at one end which would pull as an opposite and equal force.

>>22869132
Not the ones on a fish.

>>22869120 (OP)
Why are the weight measured in newtons instead of kilograms?

>>22872211
Kilograms are a unit of mass N are a unit of force. You are confused because we Americans use the imperial system and technically we have lbf (pound force) and lbm (pound mass) or sometimes a slug which is equal to 32.2 lbm. When you measure your weight technically the scale is measuring your weight in lbf but on earth 1 lbf is the same as 1lbm

>>22869120 (OP)
6,000,000

>>22869467
>>22869539
This is why you'll never breed.

>>22873454
Those ropes couldn't possibly hold 6,000,000 Newtons maybe 1000 Newtons at best but 6,000,000? Quite impossible I'm afraid.

>>22874403
Where would you even put 6,000,000 Newtons? There would be evidence of the Newtons.

I just see a scale that was in the fight for its life on two different fronts and it had to prioritize. Any other scale would do the same.
