Danny and Iskander sit on a see-saw. Iskander weighs 40 N and sits 1.2 meters from the pivot. Danny sits 0.8 m from the pivot and the see-saw is balanced. How much does Danny weigh?

Respuesta :

Answer:

60N

Explanation:

According to the principle of lever: a torque can control if an object will spin or not.

The torque Iskander cause is 40*1.2=48 N-m

So for balanced, Danny should cause the same torque.

48/0.8=60, Danny weigh 60N.
