if a ball standing on four legs wetght 1,200 pounds,how much will this bull weigh when standing on three legs
1,200 pounds
To find out how much the bull would weigh when standing on three legs, we need to consider the distribution of weight between the legs.
Assuming that each leg carries an equal amount of weight, we can determine the weight on each leg when the ball is standing on all four legs:
Total weight = Weight on each leg × Number of legs
1,200 pounds = Weight on each leg × 4 legs
Weight on each leg = 1,200 pounds ÷ 4 legs
Weight on each leg = 300 pounds
Now, let's calculate the weight of the ball when standing on three legs:
Total weight = Weight on each leg × Number of legs
Total weight = 300 pounds × 3 legs
Total weight = 900 pounds
Therefore, when the ball is standing on three legs, it would weigh 900 pounds.
