) The distance between the centers of the wheels of a motorcycle is 155 cm. The center of mass of the motorcycle, including the rider, is 88.0 cm above the ground and halfway between the wheels. Assume the mass of each wheel is small compared with the body of the motorcycle. The engine drives the rear wheel only. What horizontal acceleration of the motorcycle will make the front wheel rise off the ground? (There are a number of views on how to do this online, if you have difficulty with this problem look them up. One view is to calculate the torque about the point of contact on the ground and also the around the center of mass and set them equal to each other.) (a = 8.631 m/s)
The uniform seesaw shown below is balanced on a fulcrum located d1 = 3.5m from the left end. The bigger boy on the left end has a mass m1 =75 kg. The smaller boy on the right end has a mass of m2 = 55 kg and is a distance d2 = 4.5 m from the fulcrum. The mass of the board is mb. Draw all forces acting on the seesaw board showing their directions and locations. Where would you draw the weight of the board? Identify and show the direction of rotations caused by the torques provided by all forces about the fulcrum. If the seesaw is in static equilibrium, write down the two conditions of static equilibrium symbolically using the forces and distances in the figure. Solve for the mass of the board. Calculate the force of fulcrum on the board.

The larger ball in the picture has a mass m1 = 30 kg while the smaller ball has a mass m2 = 10 kg. (a) If the larger ball is placed 1 m away from the fulcrum, how far away from the fulcrum must the smaller ball be placed in order for the seesaw to be in equilibrium? Here the fulcrum is in the middle of the seesaw.
