The force that will cause the given torque on the see-saw is 100 N.

The given parameters:

  • Mass of the see-saw, m = 2 kg
  • Torque applied, τ = 200 N-m
  • Radius of the fulcrum, r = 2 m

The force that will cause the given torque on the see-saw is calculated as follows;

τ = Fr

[tex]F = \frac{\tau}{r} \\\\F = \frac{200}{2} \\\\F = 100 \ N[/tex]

Thus, the force that will cause the given torque on the see-saw is 100 N.
