Question
The two children shown in the figure below are balanced on a seesaw of negligible mass. The first child has a mass of 25.3 kg and sits 1.44 m from the pivot. The second child has a mass of 41.7 kg and sits 0.874 m from the pivot. Use the second condition for equilibrium (net τ = 0) to calculate Fp, the supporting force (in N) exerted by the pivot. (Enter the magnitude.)
