Question

functions of see saw​

Answer 1

Answer:

• Although a seesaw is a child’s piece of play equipment, physics plays an integral role. In fact, within physics the seesaw is a lever.

• A seesaw has a pivot point in the middle of the board. When an object is balanced on a pivot point, the turning forces on each side must equal the turning force on the other side. This means that on one side of the pivot, the force must be moving in counterclockwise motion and on the other side, the force must be moving in a clockwise motion. For the board to be completely level on the pivot point, the person or object must equal the same weight of the other side. However, if you place a heavier object on one side and place it closer to the pivot point, balance can be achieved. This is because the center of the pivot can hold more weight than the other sides. For example, if a young girl were to sit on the end of a seesaw and a heavier man were to sit on the other side, the man would have to sit closer to the pivot point than the little girl.
