Three children are sitting on a seesaw. A 25.3 kg child sits 1.5 m to the left of the fulcrum and a 12.3 kg child sits 2.0 m from the fulcrum How far to the right of the fulcrum should a 42.1 kg child sits for the seesaw to be in static equilibrium? d = m
A man stands a distance d = 0.275 m from the left end of a platform as shown in the figure. The platform is supported by three cables. Find the tension in each cable (in N). Assume the platform is uniform, with length L = 2.00 m and mass 35.0 kg, and the weight of the man is 690 N. (Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations—including answers submitted in WebAssign.) (b). What If? The man now begins to walk to the right. If each of the cables can support a maximum tension of 800 N, which cable fails first? At what location does this occur (measured in m from the left end of the platform)?
