The seesaw in the figure below is 4.5 m long. Its mass of 20 kg is uniformly distributed. The child on the left end has a mass of 14 kg and is a distance of 1.4 m from the pivot point while a second child of mass 33 kg stands a distance L from the pivot point, keeping the seesaw at rest.
(A) Make a sketch showing all the forces on the seesaw. Be sure to show where each force acts.
Solve to find
