a) torque about pivot = mgL/2 = 58.7 x 9.8 x 4.61/2 = 1325.9743 Nm
Man should sit to right of pivot at distance = 1325.9743/(69.9×9.8) = 1.936 m
b) normal force = (12.6 + 69.9 + 58.7)9.8 = 1383.76 N
c) making torque about left = 0
=> 1383.76 x 4.61/2 = 12.6 x 9.8 x 4.61/2 + 69.9 x 9.8 x (4.61/2 + x)
=> x = 1.936 m

Use the worked example above to help you solve this problem. A woman of mass m = 54.5 kg sits on the left end of a seesaw—a plank of length L = 3.50 m—pivoted in the middle as shown in the figure. (a) First compute the torques on the seesaw about an axis that passes through the pivot point. Where should a man of mass M = 75.3 kg sit if the system (seesaw plus man and woman) is to...

A seesaw consisting of a uniform board of mass and length supports at rest a father and daughter with masses my and respectively, as shown in the figure. The support (called the futrum) is under the center of gravity of the board, the father is a distance from the center, and the daughter is a distance from the center A balanced system ME (a) Determine the magnitude of the upward forcen exerted by the support on the board SOLUTION Conceptualize...
(Figure 1)The figure shows a simple model of a seesaw These consist of a plank/rod of mass mr and length 2x allowed to pivot freely about its center (or central axis), as shown in the diagram. A small sphere of mass m1 is attached to the left end of the rod, and a small sphere of mass m2 is attached to the right end. The spheres are small enough that they can be considered point particles. The gravitational force acts...

Use the worked example above to help you solve this problem. An
airplane has wings, each with area 4.05 m2, designed so
that air flows over the top of the wing at 249 m/s and underneath
the wing at 226 m/s. Find the mass of the airplane such that the
lift on the plane will support its weight, assuming the force from
the pressure difference across the wings is directed straight
upwards.
Your response differs from the correct...
Use the worked example above to help you solve this problem. In a crash test, a car of mass 1.44 103 kg collides with a wall and rebounds as shown in the figure. The initial and final velocities of the car are vi = -15.2 m/s and vf = 2.11 m/s, respectively. If the collision lasts for 0.153 s, find the following. (a) the impulse delivered to the car due to the collision kg · m/s (b) the size of...
