Two people of different masses sit on a seesaw.M1, the mass of person 1, is 94 kg, M2 is44 kg, d1 =0.8 m, andd2 = 1.1 m.The mass of the board is negligible.

(a) Since at this instant the linear momentum of the system maybe changing, we don't know the magnitude of the "normal" forceexerted by the pivot. Nonetheless, it is possible to calculate thetorque due to this force. What is the magnitude of the torque aboutlocation A due to the force exerted by the pivot on theboard?
|τA,pivot| =5 N · m

(b) What is the magnitude of the net torque on the system (board+ people)?
|τA,net| =7 N ·m
