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?
