A mother is helping her children, of unequal weight, to balance on a seesaw so that they will be able to make it tilt back and forth without the heavier child simply sinking to the ground. Given that her heavier child of weight WWW is sitting a distance LLL to the left of the pivot, at what distance L1L1L_1 must she place her second child of weight www on the right side of the pivot to balance the seesaw? Express your answer in terms of LLL, WWW, and www.

L1L1L_1 = ( LLL × WWW)/ www.

Explanation:

From the question we are given that the children's weight are not equal, thus, there will be a need to balance the seesaw "so that they will be able to make it tilt back and forth without the heavier child simply sinking to the ground''.

Also, From the question, we are gven that the weight of the heavier child = WWW, the heavier child's is sitting a distance = LLL, the weight of the second child= www.

Therefore, in order to balance the seesaw, she will need to place her second child of weight www on the right side of the pivot to balance the seesaw at a distance of;

L1L1L_1 = ( LLL × WWW)/ www.
