Two boys and a Man decided to play in a seesaw 6 m long. The two boys seated on the left side of the fulcrum while the Man seat on the right side. The boys seat 0.5 m apart., the boy on behind seats 0.5 m from the left edge. Boy 1 exerts 80 N while Boy 2 exerts 70 N. The man exerts 200N . Where should the man seat from the fulcrum in order to balance the seesaw? Find also the reaction force exerted by the fulcrum. Make the fulcrum as the point of reference for moment. Draw the FBD.

Suppose a child gets off a rotating merry-go-round, Does the angular velocity of the merry-go-round increase, decrease, or remain the same if: (a) He jumps off radially? (b) He Jumps backward to land motionless? (c) He jumps straight up and hangs onto an overhead tree branch? (d) He jumps off forward, tangential to the edge? Explain your answers. (Refer to Figure 10.34).
Figure CQ10.15 shows a side view of a childs tricycle with rubber tires on a horizontal concrete sidewalk. If a string were attached to the upper pedal on the far side and pulled forward horizontally, the tricycle would start to roll forward. (a) Instead, assume a siring is attached to the lower pedal on the near side and pulled forward horizontally as shown by A. Will the tricycle start to roll? If so, which way? Answer the same questions if (b) the string is pulled forward and upward as shown by B, (c) if the string is pulled straight down as shown by C, and (d) if the string is pulled forward and downward as shown by D. (e) What If? Suppose the string is instead attached to the rim of the front wheel and pulled upward and backward as shown by E. Which way does the tricycle roll? (f) Explain a pattern of reasoning, based on the figure, that makes it easy to answer questions such as these. What physical quantity must you evaluate? Figure CQ10.15
