Reality Check Exercise: Two Masses on a See-Saw
Go back to the simulation
and check the result from the second sample problem. Set the # of masses
to 2 and the masses to 3.0kg and 5.0kg. Move the 3.0kg mass 2.00m to the
right of the pivot point. Where does the second mass need to be located
for the see-saw to balance? Does that match the answer obtained in Sample
Problem #2?
