At the local playground, a 21-kg child sits on the right end of a horizontal teeter-totter, 1.8 m from the pivot point. On the l

eft side of the pivot an adult pushes straight down on the teeter-totter with a force of 151 N. Part A In which direction does the teeter-totter rotate if the adult applies the force at a distance of 3.0 m from the pivot?Part B
In which direction does the teeter-totter rotate if the adult applies the force at a distance of 2.5 m from the pivot?
(clockwise/counterclockwise)
Part C
In which direction does the teeter-totter rotate if the adult applies the force at a distance of 2.0 m from the pivot?
(clockwise/counterclockwise)

Answer:

By convention a negative torque leads to clockwise rotation and a positive torque leads to counterclockwise rotation.

here weight of the child =21kgx9.8m/s2 = 205.8N

the torque exerted by the child Tc = - (1.8)(205.8) = -370.44N-m ,negative sign is inserted because this torque is clockwise and is therefore negative by convention.

torque exerted by adult Ta = 3(151) = 453N , counterclockwise torque.

net torque Tnet = -370.44+453 =82.56N , which is positive means counterclockwise rotation.

b) Ta = 2.5x151 = 377.5N-m

Tnet = -370.44+377.5 = 7.06N-m , positive ,counterclockwise rotation.

c)Ta = 2x151 = 302N-m

Tnet = -370.44+302 = -68.44N-m, negative,clockwise rotation.
