### Seesaw Balance Activity#### Instructions:1. The seesaws below have boxes placed on them that all weigh the same amount. The tick marks are evenly spaced to help measure distance. Add a **single box** to each seesaw so that it will be in rotational equilibrium.![Seesaws](image-link)**Explanation:**- **Diagram A:** - Describes a seesaw that has two boxes placed on the left side, two tick marks from the fulcrum. - **Diagram B:** - Describes a seesaw with one box placed one tick mark on the left side and another one box placed two tick marks from the fulcrum on the right. **Task:**- To achieve rotational equilibrium, you need to add a single box to each seesaw in such a way that the torques on both sides of the fulcrum are balanced.**Hints:**- Remember, the torque \( \tau \) is given by \( \tau = \text{force} \times \text{distance from fulcrum} \).- Each box exerts the same force (weight) because they all weigh the same amount. Add boxes carefully to balance the seesaws correctly for rotational equilibrium.
