Question

Apollo and Artemis are playing on the teeter‑totter in their school's playground. They both have approximately the same mass. They are sitting on either side of the teeter‑totter at about the same distance from the teeter‑totter's pivot point. The teeter‑totter is going up and down and they are having a great time!

Mercury, the new kid in school, wanders by. Since they are very friendly kids, Apollo and Artemis ask Mercury to join them. Mercury joins Apollo on his side of the teeter‑totter and sits next to him.

What should Artemis do in order to keep the fun going?

1)Move farther from the teeter‑totter's pivot point in order to balance out the new smaller torque provided by Mercury and Apollo.

2)Move closer to the teeter‑totter's pivot point in order to balance out the new larger torque provided by Mercury and Apollo.

3)Move farther from the teeter‑totter's pivot point in order to balance out the new larger torque provided by Mercury and Apollo.

4)Move closer to the teeter‑totter's pivot point in order to balance out the new smaller torque provided by Mercury and Apollo.
