You have been hired to design a family-friendly see-saw. Your design will feature a uniform board (mass M = 12 kg, length L = 7 m) 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 = 28 cm from the end of the board when seated as shown. You have selected a child of mass m = 23 kg (shown on the right), and an adult of mass n =5 times the mass of the child (shown on the left) to test out your prototype.

Give the Given, Required and complete solution with formula A nail is attached to a cemented ground and can be taken out by a minimum force of 35.0 N upward and perpendicular to the ground. You are given the task of removing this nail by tying eight strings to the head of the nail symmetrically arranged around the nail. Due to physical circumstances, you are not allowed to pull the strings directly upward perpendicular to the ground but with a 49.00 inclination with respect to the ground. Calculate the minimum tension for each string so as to pull out the nail from the ground.
