A board of mass M = 3.9 kg serves as a seesaw for two children, as shown in following figure. Child A has a mass of 30.1 kg and sits 2.5 m from the pivot point, P (his center of gravity is 2.5 m from the pivot). Child B has a mass of 24.2 kg and located at distance x. Determine the torque of child A. (g = 9.80 m/s²)
