The two children shown in the figure below are balanced on a seesaw of negligible mass. The first child has a mass of 23.3 kg and sits 1.54 m from the pivot. The second child has a mass of 43.7 kg and sits 0.821 m from the pivot. Use the second condition for equilibrium (net 1 = 0) to calculate F, the supporting force (in N) exerted by the pivot. (Enter the magnitude.) F, m2 m, W2

Suppose the weight of the drawbridge in the figure is supported entirely by its hinges and the opposite shore, so that its cables are slack. The mass of the bridge is 2500 kg. What percent of the weight is supported by the opposite shore if the point of support is at the very end of the drawbridge? What is the magnitude, in newtons, of the force the hinges exert on the bridge under these circumstances?
The following figure shows a 4 m bar attached to the wall through a hinge that rotates freely, but is tied to the wall at its other end so that the system is in equilibrium. If the bar weighs 40 N and the tension in the rope is 20 N, find the angle of inclination θ (theta) that the bar makes with the x-axis and the magnitude of the reaction force at the hinge.
A child with a mass of 46 kg sits at a distance of 2.0 m from the pivot point of a seesaw. Where should another child, who has half the mass, sit to balance the seesaw to achieve a static equilibrium?
You find that it takes a force of 275 N to open a door when you apply that force at a 90° (perpendicular) to the door at a distance of 25 cm from the hinge. If instead you applied the same magnitude of force but at an angle of 30° to the door, what distance from the hinge should you apply the force so that you're able to open the door?
