Apollo and Artemis are playing on the teeter-totter in their school's playground.


Apollo and Artemis are playing on the teeter-totter in their school's playground. They both have approximately the same mass. They are sitting on either side of the teeter-totter at about the same distance from the teeter-totter's pivot point. The teeter-totter is going up and down arid they are having a great time! Mercury, the new kid in school, wanders by. Since they are very friendly kids, Apollo and Artemis ask Mercury to loin them. 


Mercury joins Apollo on his side of the teeter-totter and sits next to him. What should Artemis do in order to keep the fun going? 

  • Move closer to the teeter-totter's pivot point in order to balance out the new smaller torque provided by Mercury and Apollo. 

  • Move closer to the teeter-totter's pivot point in order to balance out the new larger torque provided by Mercury and Apollo. 

  • Move farther from the teeter-totter's pivot point in order to balance out the new larger torque provided by Mercury and Apollo. 

  • Move farther from the teeter-totter's pivot point in order to balance out the new smaller torque provided by Mercury and Apollo.

Solutions

Expert Solution

Torque is given by

T = Force * distance

Since on the other side two of his friends are sitting so he has to balance large torque

so in order to balance larger torque Arternis has to move farther from the teeter-totter's pivot point in order to balance out the new larger torque

OPTION 3rd
