A student places blocks on a 100cm long see-saw as shown/
How much torque is caused by Block A (weight: 5.00N)?
How much torque is caused by Block B (weight: 14N)?
How much torque is caused by the see-saw's 7.00N weight?
Will the see-saw tip over?

Part 1)

Part 2)

Part 3)

Part 4)

Since torque on right side is more so here it will turn and slip over it

Explanation:

As we know that the block A is placed at distance

d = 50 cm from the hinge at 70 cm mark

So torque due to weight of A is given as

the block B is placed at distance

d = 30 cm from the hinge at 70 cm mark

So torque due to weight of B is given as

Now torque due to weight of the scale is given as

now torque on left side of scale is given as

Torque on right Side is given as

Since torque on right side is more so here it will turn and slip over it

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
