If a person with a mass of 75 kg sits at a distance of 1.5 m from the pivot point on a 4.0 m seesaw Where would a person with a mass of 65 kg have to sit to balance the seesaw?

Hey. go here: http://www.mrfizzix.com/playground/page_3.htm
you should be able to understand it now. basically you'll find that:
(m1) (g) (d1) = (m2) (g) (d2) m1 = the mass of the first person d1 = distance the first person is from the pivot point m2 = the mass of the second person d2 = distance the second person is from the pivot point g = -9.8 m/s/s :)
75kg x 1.5m= 112.5 65 x X= 112.5,
X= 112.5/65 X= 1.73meters And if you convert Kilo. into Newtons first, you will get the same answer.

How do you balance a seesaw?
Simple ..put equal weight at each end, equal distance from the pivot.
How do you balance a see saw with one mass on one side?
if seesaw is balanced under its own weight with no added mass on it you cannot balance on one side. If it is unbalanced under its own weight u can add mass to balance on one side with mass depending on distance to pivot
A 600 N girl sits 6m away from the pivot of a seesaw what force is needed to balance the see-saw from 9 m away?
600 * 6 / 9 = 400 newton
What type of lever class is a seesaw?
A seesaw would be a Class 1 lever. This is because the fulcrum(also known as a pivot) is in the middle of the load and effort.
How can a kids who have different weights balance a seesaw?
they have the same density That would be impossible. The only way to stop moving is to push down with you're feet each time you reach the ground
Find the torque tau about the pivot due to the weight w of Gilles on the seesaw?
-L_1 * w
How do you make a lever arm balance?
Put the same amount of weights at the same distance away from the pivot.
How do you use algebra in a see saw?
The see-saw needs to balance so the force on wither side of the pivot needs to be equal. The turning force is calculated by distance from pivot (in metres) by force. The side with the largest turning force will be lower than the other. If they are equal then the see saw will balance.

What is a teeter-totter?
Same thing as a seesaw. See the Related Link below for pictures.

Let's say your mass is 40 kilograms and your little sister's mass is 20 kilograms You are both on a seesaw and it balances neither one of you are pushing and pulling How is the seesaw balanced?
You must be sitting twice as far away from the pivot, on your side, as your sister is on her side.
