Consider the two blocks on the seesaw below. The wedge is fixed at the center of the seesaw. If the larger box has twice the mass as the smaller, how could the seesaw be balanced? The distance measured from the center of the seesaw where the wedge is located is r. Note: For the larger box, r = rlarge and for the smaller box, r = rsmall
