A student sees a kid riding a seesaw on a playground. The student noticed that when a parent joins the kid and sits on the opposite side of the seesaw, the seesaw moves twice slower than if only the kid rides it. What is the mass of the parent if the mass of the kid is 37.6 kilograms?

The wheels, axle, and handles of a wheelbarrow weigh W = 58 N. The load chamber and its contents weigh WL = 580 N. The drawing shows these two forces in two different wheelbarrow designs. To support the wheelbarrow in equilibrium, the man’s hands apply a force to the handles that is directed vertically upward. Consider a rotational axis at the point where the tire contacts the ground, directed perpendicular to the plane of the paper. Find the magnitude of the man’s force for both designs.
Medieval soliders build a counterweight trebuchet, a device that rotates about a fulcrum to launch a small projectile of mass m1 = 5 kg from one arm of length L1 = 5 m when a large weight of mass m2 = 400 kg is placed on the other arm of length L2 = 1 m. The arms of the trebuchet are approximately massless. Please see the image for details and keep 3 significant figures for final answers， thanks!

Two masses with mass mA = 3.220 kg and mB = 22.81 kg, respectively, hang with a massless line over an inhomogeneous pulley with mass mC = 41.81 kg. The mass center of the pulley is located in the middle of the pulley. The pulley is attached with a frictionless bearing in the middle. g = 9,806 m / s².
