Three children are trying to balance on a seesaw, which consists of a fulcrum rock, acting as a pivot at the center, and a very light board 3.2 m long. Two playmates are A m = 45 kg |x Part A B m = 35 kg m = 25 kg already on either end. Boy A has a mass of 45 kg, and boy B a mass of 35 kg. Where should girl C, whose mass is 25 kg, place herself so as to balance the seesaw? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
The forearm shown below is positioned at an angle with respect to the upper arm, and a 5.6 kg mass is held in the hand. The total mass of the forearm and hand is 2.1 kg, and their center of mass is 16.1 cm from the elbow. (Assume the biceps muscle exerts a force on the forearm that acts vertically.) 5.6 kg B 37.5 cm 4.0 cm (a) What is the magnitude of the force (in N) that the biceps muscle exerts on the forearm for 0-60%7 N (b) What is the magnitude of the force on the elbow joint (in N) for the same angle? N (c) How do these forces depend on the angle 07 The force that the biceps muscle exerts increases and the force on the elbow joint decreases as increases. They both decrease as @ increases. They both increase as increases. They do not depend on 0. The force that the biceps muscle exerts decreases and the force on the elbow joint increases as increases.
