Two people of different masses sit on a see saw of negligible mass as shown. The person on the left has a mass of 80 kg and is seated 0.5m from the pivot. The person on the right has a mass of 40 kg and is seated 1.5 m from the pivot. At what distance from the pivot should the lighter person be seated to balance the see saw? 0.25 m to the right of the pivot. 0.50 m to the right of the pivot. 0.75 m to the right of the pivot. 1.00 m to the right of the pivot. None of the above.

A uniform bar, 15 m long, is balanced on a point placed at its midpoint. A body of mass 55 kg sits on the arm of the bar at a point 5 m away from the pivot. What mass can be placed 2 m away from the other end of the bar to keep the bar horizontal?

A person is sitting with one leg outstretched and stationary, so that it makes an angle of $30.0^{\circ}$ with the horizontal, as the drawing indicates. The weight of the leg below the knee is $44.5 \mathrm{N},$ with the center of gravity located below the knee joint. The leg is being held in this position because of the force $\overrightarrow{\mathbf{M}}$ applied by the quadriceps muscle, which is attached $0.100 \mathrm{m}$ below the knee joint (see the drawing). Obtain the magnitude of $\overrightarrow{\mathbf{M}}$
