The seesaw in Figure P8.28 is 4.5 m long. Its mass of 20 kg is uniformly distributed.
Question:
The seesaw in Figure P8.28 is 4.5 m long. Its mass of 20 kg is uniformly distributed. The child on the left end has a mass of 14 kg and is a distance of 1.4 m from the pivot point while a second child of mass 30 kg stands a distance L from the pivot point, keeping the seesaw at rest.?
(a) Is the seesaw in rotational equilibrium??
(b) Make a sketch showing all the forces on the seesaw. Be sure to show where each force acts.?
(c) Express the conditions for translational and rotational equilibrium for the seesaw.?
(d) Solve to find L, the location of the child on the right.

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
