Answer:

<h2>40 kg</h2>

Explanation:

Find the diagram relating to the question for proper explanation of the question below.

Using the principle of moment

Sum of clockwise moments = Sum of anticlockwise moments

Moment = Force * perpendicular distance

For anti-clockwise moment:

Since the 30 kg moves in the anticlockwise direction according to the diagram

ACW moment = 30 * 1 = 30 kgm

For clockwise moment

If another child sits 0.75 m away from the pivot point on the opposite side, moment of the child in clockwise direction = M * 0.75 = 0.75M (M is the mass of the unknown child).

Equating both moments we have;

0.75M = 30

M = 30/0.75

M = 40 kg

The second child's mass is 40 kg
