Answer 1

Answer:

Hey mate here is your answer.//

Explanation:

It is clear that the 8 kg kid shoud silt at the end and the 12 kg kid should silt closer to the centre. Supose his distance from tehcentre is x. As the kids are in equilibriu, the normal force between a kid and the seesaw equals the weight of that kid. Considering the rotatioN/Al equilibrium of the seesaw, the torques of the forces acting on it shold add to zero. The forces are

a. (12kg)g downward by the 12 kg kid,

(8kg) g downward by the 8 kg kid

c. weight of the seesaw and

d. the normal forces by the fulcrum,

(12kg)gx=(8kg)g(1.5m)

or,x=1m.
