PLEASE HELP! I know the answer to this, but I need an explanation.

Let r be the distance between the man and point Q. He applies a torque of

(r i ) × ((-800 N) j ) = ((-800 N) r ) k

pointing "into the page" with magnitude (800 N) r.

Meanwhile, the rope applies a torque of

((3.0 m) i ) × ((500 N) j ) = (1500 N•m) k

pointing out of the "page" with mag. 1500 N•m

The beam is held in place in a horizontal position, so the torques cancel and

(800 N) r = 1500 N•m

r = (1500 N•m)/(800 N) = 1.875 m ≈ 1.9 m

answer: d. a cme increases the amount of energy in the solar wind

explanation:

coronal mass ejections, also called cmes, are large clouds of plasma and magnetic field that erupt from the sun. only when the cloud is aimed at earth will the cme hit earth and therefore cause impacts. high-speed solar wind streams come from areas on the sun known as coronal holes.
