A seesaw is 3 metres long. It is balanced when child A sits 0.8 m from the pivot and child B sits 0.6 m from the pivot. Child A has a weight of 300 N. i. Draw a force diagram to represent this system.
(Ensure that you label the force and distances given.)
ii. Use the principle of moments to determine the weight of child B.

Andy wants to find the distance d across a river. he located points as shown in the figure, then use similar triangles to find that d = 223.5 feet. how can you tell without calculating that he must be wrong? tell what you think he did wrong and correct his error. round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary. andy must have used the wrong . the distance d is actually feet.
