The two children sit at opposite ends of a seesaw of negligible mass. The seesaw has a length of 4.0 m and the pivot of the seesaw is at its center. The child on the left end has a mass of 25.0 kg and the child on the right end has a mass of 32.0 kg. Where should an adult of mass 60.0 kg sit to balance the seesaw about its pivot? 20.0 kg 32.0 kg 4.0 m 170 cm left of the pivot 23 cm left of the pivot 87 cm left of the pivot 107 cm left of the pivot 40 cm left of the pivot

The fishing pole in Figure P10.22 makes an angle of 20.0 with the horizontal. What is the torque exerted by the fish about an axis perpendicular to the page and passing through the anglers hand if the fish pulls on the fishing line with a force F=100N at an angle 37.0 below the horizontal? The force is applied at a point 2.00 m from the anglers hands. Figure P10.22
Find the net torque on the wheel in Figure P10.23 about the axle through O, taking a = 10.0 cm and b = 25.0 cm. Figure P10.23
(a) When opening a door, you push on it perpendicularly with a force of 55.0 N at a distance of 0.850m from the hinges. What torque are you exerting relative to the hinges? (b) Does it matter if you push at the same height as the hinges?
Three children are trying to balance on a seesaw. The seesaw is 3.7 m long and pivots about a rock at its center. Louie and Laura are already sitting on opposite ends. If Martha weighs 29 kg, where should she sit so as to balance the seesaw?
Three children are trying to balance on a seesaw, which consists of a fulcrum rock, acting as a pivot at the center, and a very light board 3.8 m long (Figure 1). Two playmates are already on either end. Boy A has a mass of 45 kg and boy B a mass of 35 kg.Where should girl C, whose mass is 25 kg, place herself so as to balance the seesaw?
Two children are sitting on a see-saw and they want to balance it. One child, at 35.0 kg sits 1.25 m from the pivot. The other child is only 25.5 kg. How far from the pivot, in meters, should the second child sit in order to achieve balance? Enter only numerical answer, without units.
Three children are trying to balance on a seesaw, which includes a fulcrum rock acting as a pivot at the center (see figure). The board is 5.6 m long and weighs 330 N. Two children sit at either end: Child A has a weight of 400 N'and Child B has a weight of 320 N. Where should Child C, who has a weight of 140 N, sit so that the seesaw is balanced? Take x = 0 at the pivot. 400 N 320N 140 N -1.6 m -0.57 m 0.57 m 1.6 m

Three children are trying to balance on a seesaw, which consists of a fulcrum rock, acting as a pivot at the center, and a very light board 3.0 mm long . Two playmates are already on either end. Boy A has a mass of 45 kg, and boy B a mass of 35 kg. Where should girl C, whose mass is 25 kg, place herself so as to balance the seesaw?
A child with a mass of 24.3 kg sits on a see-saw, 2.75 m from its center (on its fulcrum). How far from the fulcrum should the child’s 56.4 kg mother sit to balance the child? Equations: Fg = mg t = Fr^ tccw = tcw
A 40.0 kg boy sits on a seesaw 3.0 m away from the pivot point. The mass of the wooden plank is 5.0 kg. A 30 kg boy sits opposite the 40.0 kg boy to balance the seesaw. What is the normal force exerted by the pivot point? g = 9.8
Two children seat themselves on a seesaw. The one on the left has a weight of 400 N while the one on the right weighs 300 N. The fulcrum is at the midpoint of the seesaw. If the child on the left is not at the end but is 1.50 m from the fulcrum and the seesaw is balanced, what is the torque provided by the weight of the child on the right?
