Yes a small child can play with fat child in the seesaw because if the the load distance is decreased the effort will increase. That's means if the distance between the fat boy and the fulcrum is decreased the small child needs less effort.so,he can play

The mass of the small child and that of the fat child is not the same. The small child would have a lesser mass compared to the fat child. This also implies that the weight force by the small child is smaller to the force of the fat child.

<h2>Further Explanation </h2>

Therefore, if both the small child and the fat child sit at equal distance from the pivot, the torques by them cannot be equal. The result is that the seesaw will rotate at the end of the child with a bigger weight (fat child).

Therefore, for both of them to play on the seesaw, they have to sit at an unequal distance from the pivot. This also implies that the child with a bigger weight (fat child) needs to sit near the pivot.

This question deals with torque. Torque is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction. It can be described as the measure of a force that can make an object to rotate within an axis.

Torque can be classified into two and these include

Static
Dynamic

A static Torque is the type of force that does not produce an angular acceleration, that is, a static torque has nothing to with acceleration while dynamic torque produces angular acceleration.

The Henry's law constant for CO2 is 3.6 ✕ 10−2 M/atm at 25°C. What pressure (in atm) of carbon dioxide is needed to maintain a C

xeze [42]

To solve this problem we will use Henry's law. This law states that at a constant temperature, the amount of gas dissolved in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure exerted by that gas on the liquid. Mathematically it is formulated as follows:

$C = K_H*P$

Where,

$K_H$ = Henry's constant for C02 at 25°C is equal to $3.6*10^{-2}M/atm$

C = Gas concentration is 0.19M

Replacing we have,

$0.19 M = (3.6*10^-2 M/atm)*P$

$P = 5.277 atm$

Therefore the pressure of carbon dioxide is 5.277 atm

To solve this problem, we must take two important steps. First we will convert all the given units, to international system. Later we will define the torque, which is given as the product between the radius of application of the force and the Force acting on the body. Mathematically the latter is,

$\tau = r F$
