Slide 3: Now, consider that the rope tension balancing the torque is at an angle 0 = 120, rather than being vertical. a) State whether the magnitude of this new force F' needs to be larger, smaller, or the same size as the previous (vertical) force F in order to balance the seesaw, and justify your answer. J m F' 0 M L 12 b) Calculate the new force F' in terms of M, m, r, r, L, e, and g, and then plug in the values from slide 2, to confirm your answer to part (a).
