Question

please solve...


A woman of massm=50.1kg sits on the left end of a seesawa plank of lengthL=3.99mpivoted in the middle as shown in the figure.

A woman of massm=50.1kg sits on the left end of a seesaw a plank of lengthL=3.99m pivoted in the middle as shown in the figure. (a)First compute the torques on the seesaw about an axis that passes through the pivot point. Where should a man of massM=68.6kg sit if the system (seesaw plus man and woman) is to be balanced? (b) Find the normal force exerted by the pivot if the plank has a mass ofmpl=10.2kg. (c) Repeat part (a), but this time compute the torques about an axis through the left end of the plank.
