Question

I really dont know what to do here , you(500n) and your cousing(300n) sit on a SEE saw. Your cousing sitos at a distance of 1.5meters from the fulcrum . How far do you need to sit to creat rotational equilibrium?

Answer 1

we know that you want both rotational torques on each side equal. so we know that torque=force*distance from pivot point. so draw a FBD of this problem
then set both sides = to each other after you convert your newtons to pounds.
