A 588 mother sits on one side of a seesaw, 2.20m away from the pivot. one of her two children sits 2.00m from the pivot on the o

ther side of the seesaw. If the force of gravity on her is 256N, where must the other child sit to balance the seesaw if the force of gravity on him is 412 N ?

Using momentum balance:

The 588 N mother is on the other side of the seesaw, 2.20m away from the pivot

F1 = 588 N
x1 = 2.20 m

Two of her children sat on the other side:

F2 = 256 N
x2 = 2.00 m

F3 = 412 N
x3 = unknown

F1x1 = F2x2 + F3x3

Solve for x3:

588 * 2.2 = 256 * 2 + 412 * x3

x3 =  1.90 meters away from pivot

How are ice liquid water and water vapor different from each other?
olga_2 [115]
The molecules of ice stick together in the process of cohesion. They are tightly packed so there isn't much room to move. Liquid water is a looser hold. The molecules can go past one another, and they will take the shape of whatever container they occupy. Water vapor is loosely contained, and it will will fill whatever container it is kept in, and it will take its shape, too.
