Question

Two children are sitting on a see-saw and they cannot swing, what is the net torque in this situation?

Answer 1

Answer:

The net torque in the mentioned situation is zero, as no net rotation can be seen on either sides, this suggests that the system, I.e, the see-saw and the children are in equilibrium. Hence the net force and the net torque is zero.

Answer 2

Answer:

Net torque in this situation will be zero because clockwise torque will cancel the effect of anticlockwise torque.

Explanation:

They will cancel each effect because the weight of the two children is equal so that's why they were not swinging at that time.

THANKS!
