balanced about the fulcrum point.
How far is the
fulcrum
point
(or
“
Center of Mass
”
)
located from the man?
(in meters).
A 55-kg woman and a 72-kg man sit at the opposite ends of a seesaw, 3.6 m long. Where is their center of mass? (Ignore the mass of the seesaw.)
a) 2.04 m from the man.
b) 2.04 m from the woman.
c) 1.56 m from the woman.
Calculate the magnitude and direction of the force on each foot of the horse in Figure shown(two are on the ground), assuming the center of mass of the horse is midway between the feet. The total mass of the horse and rider is 500kg.
