2. A 75-kg adult sits at one end of a 9.0-m-long board. His 25-kg child sits on the
other end. (a) Where should the pivot be placed so that the board is balanced,
ignoring the board's mass? (b) Find the pivot point if the board is uniform and has
a mass of 15 kg.
3. Calculate FA and Fg for the beam shown below. The downward forces represent
the weights of machinery on the beam. Assume the beam is uniform and has a
mass of 280 kg.
FA 4300 N

4. Three children are trying to balance on a seesaw, which includes a fulcrum rock
acting as a pivot at the center, and a very light board 3.2 m long. Two playmates
are already on either end. Boy A has a mass of 45 kg, and boy B a mass of 35
kg. Where should girl c, whose mass is 25 kg, place herself so as to balance the
seesaw?
m 35 kg
m= 45 kg
m 25 kg
