Yes a small child can play with fat child in the seesaw because if the the load distance is decreased the effort will increase. That's means if the distance between the fat boy and the fulcrum is decreased the small child needs less effort.so,he can play

Answer from: g23liyah01

The mass of the small child and that of the fat child is not the same. The small child would have a lesser mass compared to the fat child. This also implies that the weight force by the small child is smaller to the force of the fat child.

Further Explanation

Therefore, if both the small child and the fat child sit at equal distance from the pivot, the torques by them cannot be equal. The result is that the seesaw will rotate at the end of the child with a bigger weight (fat child).

Therefore, for both of them to play on the seesaw, they have to sit at an unequal distance from the pivot. This also implies that the child with a bigger weight (fat child) needs to sit near the pivot.

This question deals with torque. Torque is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction. It can be described as the measure of a force that can make an object to rotate within an axis.

Torque can be classified into two and these include

Static Dynamic

A static Torque is the type of force that does not produce an angular acceleration, that is, a static torque has nothing to with acceleration while dynamic torque produces angular acceleration.

Suppose that two tanks, 1 and 2, each with a large opening at the top, contain different liquids. a small hole is made in the side of each tank at the same depth 1.57 m below the liquid surface, but the hole in tank 2 has 2.49 times the cross-sectional area of the hole in tank 1. (a) what is the ratio ρ1/ρ2 of the densities of the liquids if the mass flow rate is the same for the two holes? (b) what is the ratio rv1/rv2 of the volume flow rates from the two tanks? (c) at one instant, the liquid in tank 1 is 14.9 cm above the hole. if the tanks are to have equal volume flow rates, what height above the hole must the liquid in tank 2 be just then?
