Concept explainers
The angle made by the seesaw with the vertical for the given situation.
Answer to Problem 108A
The value of the angle is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The component of weight that is parallel to seesaw length is one-third of the perpendicular component of the weight of the person
Formula used:
The horizontal and vertical component of a force F , if
Calculation:
Consider the weight of the person E sitting on the seesaw is denoted by
Consider the angle made by the seesaw with the vertical is
The horizontal component and vertical component of the weight of the person E are:
The value of the angle
Conclusion:
Thus, the value of the angle is
