please answer and explanation needed fot these two exercises:

1- You must have a sketch and show all work including the equations for both conditions of Static Equilibrium.

A uniform 40.0kg scaffold of length 6.0m is supported by 2 light cables. An 80.0kg painter stands 1.0m from the left end of the scaffold, and his painting equipment is 1.5m from the right end. If the tension in the left cable is twice that in the right cable, find the tensions in the cables and the mass of the equipment.

2-Sketch the problem and write the equations for both conditions of Static Equilibrium before you solve the problem.

A uniform seesaw of length 8.0m is balanced on a fulcrum located 3.0m from the left end. A larger boy (80kg) sits on the far left side of the seesaw. A smaller boy (40kg) sits on the far right side of the seesaw. What is the mass of the seesaw?
