How to calculate moments with 3 separate weights of different amounts at different points?

I don't completely understand your drawing, although I can see that you certainly
did put a lot of effort into making it.  But calculating the moment is easy, and we
can get along without the drawing.

Each separate weight has a 'moment'.
The moment of each weight is: 

             (the weight of it) x (its distance from the pivot/fulcrum) .

That's all there is to a 'moment'.

The lever (or the see-saw) is balanced when (the sum of all the moments
on one side) is equal to (the sum of the moments on the other side).

That's why when you're on the see-saw with a little kid, the little kid has to sit
farther away from the pivot than you do.  The kid has less weight than you do,
so he needs more distance in order for his moment to be equal to yours.

Which part of a river would have animals with very muscular bodies and adaptations that let survive in turbulent water? Source z
lidiya [134]
The part of a river that would have animals with muscular bodies and adaptations that let survive in turbulent water is in the transition zone, the mid-transition zone to be precise. Water at the source zone possesses a lot of potential energy and as it flows from the upper reaches the potential energy is turned into kinetic energy when the course of the river begins to gradually level out and this translates into increase in velocity. By the time river water reaches the middle of the transition zone, most of the potential energy would have been turned into kinetic energy and thus water velocity would be quite high here. Animals living here would develop muscles because of constantly fighting against the strong current to avoid being swept downstream.
