Unitary Method

The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.

Speed, Time, and Distance

Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 …

Profit and Loss

The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.

Units and Measurements

Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experime…

Question

Chapter 1.5, Problem 14CE

To determine

To explain: a four legged table may rock even if the floor is level.

Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

A four legged table.

Only three points are needed to define a plane.

Therefore, at any position where the table is stable, only 3 legs need to be touching the ground (i.e. on the same plane).

The other leg may be out of position or not in the same plane, and thus the table may rock.

If we took that last leg out, then no matter what, even if the legs were wildly misshapen, the three legs would produce a "stable" table.

However, the addition leg implies that any combination of 3 legs can produce a "stable" support. So we can wobble between different combinations of three legs.

Therefore, a four legged table that rocks on an even surface has one leg that is not in the same plane as the other three.
