1. Three children are trying to balance on a seesaw, which has a pivot at the center, and a very light board `5.0\ m` long. Two playmates are already on either end. Boy `A` has a mass of `50\ kg`. and girl `B` a mass of `35\ kg`. Where should girl `C`, whose mass is `25\ kg`, place herself so as to balance the seesaw?
