Question

Tim has a weight of 500N, which his half of his father's

Answer 1

Answer:

3.75m on the left end

Explanation:

Given data

Tim's  weight = 500N= 0.5kN

Tim's fathers weight= 500*2= 1000N= 1kN

Tim and the fathers weight = 500+1000= 1500N= 1.5kN

Tim's uncle weight= 1.5kN

Length of seesaw= 5m

let the distance  Tim's uncle sits be x

We know that summation of clockwise moment equals the summation of anticlockwise moment

Taking moment about the center of the seesaw

1.5*2.5= 1*x

3.75= 1x

Divide boths sides by 1

x= 3.75/1

x= 3.75m

Hence Tim's uncle will sit 3.75m on the left end
