Balanced Beam With Two Masses
A uniform horizontal beam is balanced on a pivot with two equal
masses resting on top, as shown. The "x" indicates the center of
mass of the beam by itself. If mass 1 is moved two units to the
left and mass two is moved two units to the right, which statement
below is correct? Note: "units" refer to the tick
marks on the beam.
A) More information must be provided in order to determine where
the pivot should be placed in order for the system to be
balanced.
B) The pivot must be moved to the right in order for the system to
be balanced.
C) The pivot must be kept in its current position in order for the
system to be balanced.
D) The pivot must be moved to the left in order for the system to
be balanced.
Please explain conceptually and mathematically!

Two masses are on a seesaw on opposite sides of the pivot point. On the left side of the seesaw there is a 12kg mass sitting 1.5m away from the pivot point. How far away from the pivot point would a mass of 16kg be placed on the right side of the seesaw for the seesaw to perfectly balance? Round to the appropriate number of significant figs.
