Question: Problem No . 6 ( Problem 3 . 2 , p 6 5 ) : A 7 8 0 - N person sits 3 m

Problem No.6(Problem 3.2, p65): A 780-N person sits 3m away from the fulcrum on a seesaw. A second person weighing 825N sits on the opposite side of the seesaw at a distance of 2.8m away from the fulcrum.
(a) Draw the free body diagram and write equation of equilibrium in Y direction. Then, calculate reaction force. (1 point)
(b) Determine the moment (magnitude and direction in + or - sign) created by the 780-N person with respect to fulcrum. Please note counterclockwise is + and vice versa. (1 point)
