The diagrams show some equations of mass among spheres, cubes, cylinders, and cones. What
is the least number of objects that will balance the final scale?
Expert Solution
Step 1
Let mass of one cylinder = 1 Cy
mass of one cone = 1 Co
mass of one sphere = 1 S
and mass of one cube = 1 Cu
Now, according to first figure below:
The mass of 1 sphere and 2 cylinders is equal to the mass of 2 cones and 3 cubes, i.e. mathematically
1 S + 2 Cy = 2 Co + 3 Cu ...(1)
Similarly, for second figure below:
1 Cy + 1 Co = 2 S + 1 Cu ...(2)
and for third figure below:
6 S = 1 Co + 1 Cu + 1 Cy ...(3)
and corresponding to the forth figure below:
we want to find the equivalent mass to 4 Co, i.e. 4 Co = ?
