In the above problem, we need to find mass of the second child, so that the Center of Mass remains at the origin( pivot).

CM= m1r1+m2r2/m1+m2
0= 20*-2+16*r2/20+16
r2= 40/16
r2= +2.5 m

Can anybody help me solve this problem? Thank you so much!
ser-zykov [4K]
Please ignore my comment -- mass is not needed, here is how to solve it. pls do the math

at bottom box has only kinetic energy
ke = (1/2)mv^2
v = initial velocity
moving up until rest work done = Fs
F = kinetic fiction force = uN = umg x cos(a)
s = distance travel = h/sin(a)
h = height at top
a = slope angle
u = kinetic fiction
work = Fs = umgh x cot(a)
ke = work (use all ke to do work)
(1/2)mv^2 = umgh x cot(a)
u = (1/2)v^2 x tan (a) / gh

With 250 grams pullling to the right and 100 grams pulling towards A, you will have some movement towards the right and some movement towards A. The resultant vector will be angled between those two directions.
