**Question 6:**Two kids are sitting on a seesaw and the seesaw is balanced. Kid 1 has a mass of 35 kg and kid 2 has a mass of 42 kg. Kid 1 is sitting 0.5 m away from the center of the seesaw. How far away is kid 2 from the center of the seesaw?**Explanation:**To solve this problem, we utilize the principle of moments (torque) which states that for the seesaw to be balanced, the moments (force times distance) on both sides must be equal.We have:- Mass of kid 1 (m1) = 35 kg- Distance of kid 1 from the center of the seesaw (d1) = 0.5 m- Mass of kid 2 (m2) = 42 kgLet \( d_2 \) be the distance of kid 2 from the center of the seesaw. The moment caused by kid 1 is \( m_1 \times d_1 \) and the moment caused by kid 2 is \( m_2 \times d_2 \). For the seesaw to be balanced:\[ m_1 \times d_1 = m_2 \times d_2 \]Substituting the given values:\[ 35 \, \text{kg} \times 0.5 \, \text{m} = 42 \, \text{kg} \times d_2 \]Solving for \( d_2 \):\[ 17.5 = 42 \, d_2 \]\[ d_2 = \frac{17.5}{42} \]\[ d_2 \approx 0.4167 \, \text{m} \]Therefore, kid 2 is approximately 0.4167 meters away from the center of the seesaw.

Given:- m1 = 35 Kg m2 = 42 Kg x1 = 0.5 m (from the center) To find:- x2

A ride at a carnival has four spokes to which pods are attached that can hold two people. The spokes are each 15 m long and are attached to a central axis. Each spoke has mass 200.0 kg, and the pods each have mass 100.0 kg. If the ride spins at 0.2 rev/s with each pod containing two 50.0-kg children, what is the new spin rate if all the children jump off the ride?
A student stands on a platform that is free to rotate and holds two dumbbells, each at a distance of 65 cm from his central axis. Another student gives him a push and starts the system of student, dumbbells, and platform rotating at 0.50 rev/s. The student on the platform then pulls the dumbbells in close to his chest so that they are each 22 cm from his central axis. Each dumbbell has a mass of 1.00 kg and the rotational inertia of the student, platform, and dumbbells is initially 2.40 kg-m². Model each arm as a uniform rod of mass 3.00 kg with one end at the central axis; the length of the arm is initially 65 cm and then is reduced to 22 cm. What is his new rate of rotation?

A 45 kg figure skater is spinning on the toes of her skates at 1.3 rev/s. Her arms are outstretched as far as they will go. In this orientation, the skater can be modeled as a cylindrical torso (40 kg, 20 cm average diameter, 160 cm tall) plus two rod-like arms (2.5 kg each, 71 cm long) attached to the outside of the torso. The skater then raises her arms straight above her head. In this latter orientation, she can be modeled as a 45 kg, 20-cm-diameter, 200-cm-tall cylinder.

A tightrope walker is walking between two buildings holding a pole with length ?=15.5 m, and mass ??=19.5 kg. The daredevil grips the pole with each hand a distance ?=0.575 m from the center of the pole. A bird of mass ??=525 g lands on the very end of the left‑hand side of the pole. Assuming the daredevil applies upward forces with the left and right hands in a direction perpendicular to the pole, what magnitude of force ?left and ?right must the left and right hand exert to counteract the torque of the bird?
