Ed, Edd and Eddy love to play on a seesaw. It consists of a 1-kg board with a length of 8 meters. One day, the other end broke down. They had to cut it by a meter and maintain the pin support in its original position. Then, they tried the seesaw altogether. Ed (m = 55kg) sat on one side about 3m from the pin while Edd (m = 40kg) and Eddy (m = 40kg) on the other side. If Edd was about 3m as well from the pin, calculate the following: The manitude of the reaction force (N) exerted by the pin support on the board. Assume Eddy is in between Ed and Edd. (mass of board = 1kg) Ans. 1332.8

Question

Ed, Edd and Eddy love to play on a seesaw. It consists of a 1-kg board with a length of 8 meters. One day, the other end broke down. They had to cut it by a meter and maintain the pin support in its original position. Then, they tried the seesaw altogether. Ed (m = 55kg) sat on one side about 3m from the pin while Edd (m = 40kg) and Eddy (m = 40kg) on the other side. If Edd was about 3m as well from the pin, calculate the following:

 

  • The manitude of the reaction force (N) exerted by the pin support on the board. Assume Eddy is in between Ed and Edd. (mass of board = 1kg)

 

Ans. 1332.8
