Answer:
0.54m
Explanation:
Step one:
given data
length of seesaw= 3m
mass of man m1= 85kg
weight = mg
W1= 85*10= 850N
mass of daughter m2= 35kg
W2= 35*10= 350N
distance from the center= (1.5-0.2)= 1.3m
Step two:
we know that the sum of clockwise moment equals the anticlockwise moment
let the distance the must sit to balance the system be x
taking moment about the center of the system
350*1.3=850*x
455=850x
divide both sides by 850
x=455/850
x=0.54
Hence the man must sit 0.54m from the right to balance the system
Answer: (Sorry, but I don't know how to calculate mass)
1. 15 N
2. 0.4921
(feet per second squared)
4. 150 N
5. 8.202 feet per second squared
