Placed at the left end so that the teeter-totter is balanced

Reference no: EM13551665

A teeter-totter is made of a 5.400 m long plank with a mass of 58.0 kg, with a fulcrum (pivot point) located 2.900 m from the right end. If a box with a mass of 94.0 kg is placed at the extreme right end of the plank, what mass must be placed at the left end so that the teeter-totter is balanced?
