Center of Gravity of a system

The centre of gravity is a property that is based on the geometry of a rigid body or any particle. It is described as an equilibrium point or a hypothetical location where the total weight of the body is concentrated.

You have been hired to design a family-friendly see-saw. Your design will feature a uniform board (mass M, length L) that can be moved so that the pivot is a distance d from the center of the board. This will allow riders to achieve static equilibrium even if they are of different mass, as most people are. You have decided that each rider will be positioned so that his/her center of mass will be a distance xoffset from the end of the board when seated as shown. You have selected a child of mass m (shown on the right), and an adult of mass n times the mass of the child (shown on the left) to test out your prototype. (a) Derive an expression for the torque applied by the adult rider (on the left) in terms of given quantities and variables available in the palette. Assume counterclockwise is positive.

A bean of wood with negligible mass and the lenght 5.0 m is placed on a tirangular support. A mass of 9.5 kg is hanging on the left end of the beam, and a box with mass 23kg is placed on the beam. In order to prevent the beam form moving and to keep it in equilibrium, a person has to support the beam at the right end. IF the distance from the pivot to the hanging mass is 1.2 m, and the distance from the pivot to the point where the force from the box is applied on te beam is 2.3 m, with that magnitude of force F in the unit N , does the person have to hold the beam tokeep the equilibrium?
