Ha. Got me. I don't like that answer.

Reading SDN would have prevented failure there.

Glad I knew this one from A&P

Do y'all use http://www.mcatquestion.com/ as well? That was the favorite site amongst the premeds at my school.

I use mcatquestionaday, which appears to be the same as mcatquestion.

same seems the iphone app isn't working anymore....

Haha Got it right!!! Glad to know my engineering classes will be of some use on the mcat.

Well, same style, but definitely different questions. Mcatquestion has been around a lot longer.

The other website I used to use was the Kaplan 20 minute MCAT test, but that one updated a lot less frequently than once a day.

I spend like 10 minutes trying to figure out how to solve this problem. Physics gives me anxiety no matter how much I study. At the end, I figured out how to do it based on intuition and no math calculations. I just thought about how it needs to be balanced and where to attach the rope. I know if I attached it too close to the smaller mass it wouldn't be balance. I knew it needed to be closer to the larger mass but not to close, so I came up with C. 4 m. I really need to figure out a better way to handle these physics problems. The answer could have easily been 4.5 m but I guessed that "C." was a far better estimate.

Just did this question. I thought it was fairly simple and I have not covered physics yet.

Draw a picture. Label the board as length 5m, and the distance from left end to rope as "x", and the other side as "5-x". Attach the weights. Now use torque.

5kg*g*x = 20kg*g*(5-x)

Now solve for x.

Thanks. Honestly, I was using torque but I kept stopping myself and repeating my steps because I felt I wasn't setting it up correctly. Physics really gets to me. I make the same dumb mistakes every time.

todays question was pretty easy, i missed yesterdays question but im guessing it was pretty hard? This one was just a simple torque question..the way you guys talked about it i thought it was crazy hard and second guessed myself at first then read that the post was a day old, hah
