The distance from the axis of rotation on the other side the child should sit is 0.45 m
<h3>What is moment?</h3>
Moment is defined as:
Moment = force × distance
<h3>Equilibrium of seesaw</h3>
Clockwise moment = Anti-clockwise moment
<h3>How to determine the Anti-clockwise moment</h3>
- Weight = 4.5×10² N
- Distance = 0.6 m
- Anti-clockwise moment =?
Anti-clockwise moment = force × distance
Anti-clockwise moment = 4.5×10² × 0.6
Anti-clockwise moment = 270 N
<h3>How to determine the Clockwise moment</h3>
- Weight = 6×10² N
- Clockwise moment =?
Clockwise moment = force × distance
Clockwise moment = 6×10² × distance
<h3>How to determine the distance</h3>
- Anti-clockwise moment = 270 N
- Clockwise moment = 6×10² × distance
- Distance =?
Clockwise moment = Anti-clockwise moment
6×10² × distance = 270
Divide bothsides by 6×10²
Distance = 270 / 6×10²
Distance = 0.45 m
