Two boys, shrijan having weight 600N and shrijesh having weight 300N are playing see-saw. If shrijan is sitting at 2m from fulcrum, where should shrijesh sit from fulcrum to balance shrijan?


plzzzzzz help me ​

Answer:

Shrijesh should be located at 4[m] from the fulcrum point.

Explanation:

We must keep in mind that the moment around the point of rotation (fulcrum) must be equal, so that the bar remains in balance.

The moment for shrijan is:

[tex]M=F*d\\M=600*2\\M_{shrijan}=1200[N*m][/tex]

So if the moment should be equal, the distance can be obtain from the same equation using the shrijesh's force or weight.

[tex]M_{shrijesh}=F*d_{2}\\1200=300*d_{2}\\d_{2}=4[m][/tex]
