Suppose we have a seesaw balanced on a central fulcrum. The seesaw is level at this instant. One person is sitting on the left hand end of the seesaw and another is sitting to the right of the fulcrum 1/3 of the way from the fulcrum to the right end of the seesaw. Use the algorithm, writing each step as you go, to write the sum of torques equation. Assume the center of gravity of the seesaw is in its center. Be sure to list all your hidden information (there is quite a bit). You don’t have to actually solve the sum of torques equation.
