A see-saw is balanced on its
midpoint. A 22.4 kg kid sits on the left, 1.75 m from the axis. A second kid sits on the other side, 1.22 m from the axis. What is the mass of the second kid?

Respuesta :

Answer:

W1 L1 = W2 L2        equation for balancing torques

M1 g L1 = M2 L2 g

Or M2 = M1 * 1.75 / 1.22 = 1.43 M1 = 32.1 kg
