2. Jamie and Andrea are figuring out a way to balance themselves on a seesaw. Jamie who weighs 15 kilograms sits 2 meters from the fulcrum. Andrea who weighs 20 kilograms tried sitting at different distances from the fulcrum in order to balance the weight of Jamie. How far from the fulcrum should Andrea sit?

Hello! I have attached the quastion in the attached document, I would need to resolve D. Question d: What is the minimum length of the rope required to ensure that the mass would have made it all the way to the top of the semicircle. For your reference, answers for part A, v= sqr root of (4rg); T=3mg for part B, v= sqr root of (2gr(1-Cos Theta) and for part C, the answer is Theta = 48.18 degrees. Thank you for your help
Consider the shelf in the figure. Suppose all supports fail and only O is working properly; if the shelf does not move, what must be the mass of the flowerpot on the left?
The answers are provided; please explain the purpose of each equation and why they were used Consider a bar of length 5.5 m, being acted on by three forces and constrained to rotate about its left end. The magnitudes of the first two forces are 19 N and 28 N and the first force is acting on the end of the bar at an angle of 43° What is the torque in newton-meters, due to F1 on this bar relative to the left end? Ans. = 78.87 Nm Equation used: τ1 = rFsinθ What is the torque in newton-meters, due to F2 on this bar relative to the left end, if this force is acting at the midpoint of the bar? Use a coordinate system with positive directed out of the screen. Ans. = 77 Nm Equation used: τ2 = F2 x (L / 2) What is the magnitude of the force F3, in newtons, if the force is a distance 0.85 m from the left end and the bar is not rotating? Ans. = 183.38 N Equation used: F = (τ1 + τ2) / d

Three children are trying to balance on a seesaw, which consists of a fulcrum rock, acting as a pivot at the center, and a very light board 3.8 m long (Figure 1). Two playmates are already on either end. Boy A has a mass of 45 kg and boy B a mass of 35 kg.Where should girl C, whose mass is 25 kg, place herself so as to balance the seesaw?

What is the net torque on the merry-go-round? Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units. What is the net torque if Jerry reverses the direction that he pushes by 180∘ without changing the magnitude of his force? Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
Marcel is helping his two children, Jacques and Gilles, to balance on a seesaw so that they will be able to make it tilt back and forth without the heavier child, Jacques, simply sinking to the ground. Given that Jacques, whose weight is W, is sitting at distance L to the left of the pivot, at what distance L1 should Marcel place Gilles, whose weight is w, to the right of the pivot to balance the seesaw? (figure 1) Part A) Express your answer in terms of L, W, and w. Part B) Now consider this problem as a more formal introduction to torque. The torque of each child about the pivot point is the product of the child's weight and the distance from the pivot to the child's center of mass (center of gravity.) The sign of the torque is taken to be positive by convention if it would cause a counterclockwise rotation of the seesaw. The distance is measured perpendicular to the line of force and is called the moment arm. (figure 1) Find the torque τ about the pivot due to the…
