Happy monkeys
Two monkeys hang on the trapeze. Because
they want to keep the trapeze in balance, each hangs on a different end of the
trapeze.
??? Where will you hang the monkeys if you want the
trapeze to be in balance?
Solution: The monkeys should hang in equal distances from the trapeze hinge.
Another monkey jumped and hung on the tail of one of the monkeys as shown in the picture. The balance has been broken. Before the monkeys fall from the tree, move them so that the trapeze is in balance again.
Take three monkeys and hang them on the trapeze so that one monkey hangs on the tail of another monkey. Only two monkeys can have paws on the trapeze. Can you do it?
??? How do you place monkeys to
balance the trapeze?
Solution: The pair of monkeys should be placed half the distance from the hinge, such as the distance of one monkey from the hinge.
Other monkeys came to have fun. They were hanging on the tails of monkeys. The trapezes were always held by only two monkeys, each on different sides of the trapeze.
Find out the relationship between the number of hanging monkeys and their distance from the hinge.
??? How do you place monkeys to
balance the trapeze?
Solution: On the left side of the trapeze and on the right side of the trapeze, if I multiply the number of monkeys and the distance between the monkeys and the hinge, I must always get the same number
Extension:
There was also one naughty monkey at the monkey entertainment, who wanted to hang herself next to two hanging monkeys. The other monkeys scared and grabbed down. Three monkeys remained on the trapeze. They all wanted to hang on the trapeze so that the trapeze was still in balance. Did they succeed?
Find out if it is possible to place three monkeys on the trapeze so that it is in balance. If this can be done, find out how to place the monkeys on the trapeze.
??? How do you place monkeys to balance the trapeze?
