Answer:
4.5 Nm (Anticlockwise)
Explanation:
Let the 75 kg kid is sitting at the left end and the 60 kg kid is sitting on the right end.
Anticlockwise Torque = 75 x 1.5 = 112.5 Nm
clockwise Torque = 60 x 1.8 = 108 Nm
Net torque = Anticlockwise torque - clockwise torque
Net Torque = 112.5 - 108 = 4.5 Nm (Anticlockwise)
Energy at top = U = mgh = 40 * 9.8 * 12 = 4704 J
Energy at bottom = 1/2 mv² = 1/2 * 40 * 10² = 4000 / 2 = 2000 J
Energy Lost = Final - Initial = 4704 - 2000 = 2704 J
In short, Your Answer would be 2704 Joules
Hope this helps!
