Two children are playing on a seesaw. The child on the right
weighs 75 lbs the child on the left weighs 110 lbs. The see saw is
9 feet long.
Find positions for the children where the seesaw will be at
equilibrium. (Assume that the axis of rotation is at 0, to the left
is – to the right is +)
When the seesaw is at equilibrium, where is the center of
mass?
If we ignore the mass of the seesaw itself and assume the
children are point masses … what is the moment of inertia? (Please
assume that the clockwise rotation is +)
