Problem

Two children of equal mass sit on opposite ends of a massless 4.0 m seesaw that is initially in rotational equilibrium about its central pivot. One child scoots 0.20 m closer to the pivot. Which of the following actions will best restore rotational equilibrium? a) The other child moves 0.20 m0.20\text{ m} farther from the pivot. b) The other child moves 0.10 m0.10\text{ m} closer to the pivot. c) The other child moves 0.20 m0.20\text{ m} closer to the pivot. d) The other child moves 0.40 m0.40\text{ m} closer to the pivot.
