Tom writes, "My friend Dave has a seesaw. The board of the seesaw is a foot wide and eight-feet long. It weighs 36 pounds.
"What's odd is that the fulcrum is two feet from one end. Of course, there's six feet on the other end. On the short side, he's placed a solid concrete cube, which is one foot on each side, right at the end of the board. The cube weighs 48 pounds. He wants to balance the seesaw."
So, here's the question: What weight, also a solid cube one foot on a side, does he have to put all the way at the other end, for the seesaw to balance?
I'll give you a hint. It won't be concrete.
Think you know? Drop Ray a note!
