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

Why is the centroid the balancing point of a triangle?
This is sometimes referred to as center of mass, as well. If you could take the vector sum of all the torques produced by all of the 'point-masses' to this particular point they will net to zero. For simplicity, consider a weightless see-saw. On the right side of the see-saw is a person weighing 100 pounds, who is 6 feet away from the pivot point. This produces (100 pounds force) x (6 feet ) = 600 foot-pounds force of torque, in the clockwise direction. On the other side of the see saw is a 200 pound person at 3 feet away from the pivot. This will produce (200 pounds force) x (3 feet ) = 600 foot-pounds force of torque, in the counter-clockwise direction. So the see-saw is balanced. Now for each 'point-mass' (this is an infintessimaly small area with an associated small mass), a certain distance away from the centroid, there would be an equal mass the same distance away on the other side, but a vertex is farther away than the opposite side, so there will be two points, each at an angle from the centroid to a point which are a shorter distance, but add to balance the farther points. This is kind-of hard to explain without pictures.
What is the set of a saw?
It is the displacement of teeth on the saw, i.e., to bend the teeth of the saw alternately to either side of the blade. ( then I noticed this is in a computer section, sorry).
How many ways can you spell saw?

What is the value of a Stoeger Arms 12 gauge Zephyr Woodlander side by side?
I just bought one today. Dealer said it probably was late 50s or 60s model. Paid 250. Was listed for 269.00. Just saw where the same gun was estimated to be worth 300 as a trade in item.
How many Old Testament prophets saw a vision or the voice of GOD?
The definition of being a prophet is one who speaks of divine things to people so all the real prophets heard or saw visions of God in one way of another. For example, Moses heard God speak in the burning bush, and Ezekiel saw a vision.
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.
How does a saw work?
i think that if you put a thingy on one side and then a lighter thing on the other side then the heavier side will touch the bottom and the lighter side will go up in the air

What will happen on a see saw if one boy is bigger than the other how would balance the weight of the big boy?
big boy sits closer to the centre
Do neutrons have same mass as electrons?
No, protons and neutrons both have a relative mass of 1. Whereas, electrons have a relative mass of (1x10^-5), which is the equivilent to saying that an electron's mass is about 100,000 times smaller than a proton or neutron.
What is the difference between a counter balance and counter tension?
Counter tension is when gymnasts perform a balance which involves two or more of them pulling away from each other (or a piece of apparatus), where the weight is not even, whereas counter balance is when a move is balanced (like a sea-saw) or like when a gymnast performs an arabesque, the front and back of their body counter-balance one another.
When children play on a see-saw the long board they sit on acts like a what?
A balance or lever.

Who made the john deere ev35 chainsaw?
It was made by Echo. I have one, and I have an Echo CS440 EVL. Although the latter is a larger saw, when you sit them side by side they look like twins.
