Question 1182851: It says you and your friend see kids playing on a seesaw. The two kids are balancing without their feet touching the ground. Your friend says there is no way that a mother and daughter could do the same thing. Use what you know about the different types of variation to figure out how a mother and child could balance. The values gave to me are
Weight Distance
120 100
150 80
200 60
300 40
400 30
Your turn: Choose a new fixed weight and fixed difference that are different from the one for the seesaw you selected. (Reminder: Seesaw A has a fixed weight of 600 units and a fixed distance of 150 units. Seesaw B has a fixed weight of 100 units and a fixed distance of 120 units.)
What new values did you pick?
With your new constant values on one side of the seesaw, use the Lever Tool to find 5 new pairs of weights and distances that balance the seesaw. Record these values in the table below. (Reminder: The pan on the lever weighs 100 units!)
Now use the table to sketch a graph.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
From the post, it is unclear, which weight and which distance are given in the Table.
Regarding making a sketch a graph, do it on your own.
This forum is not an art studio to make sketches in response to the visitors' requests.
Have a nice day (!)

In this site, several years ago I wrote the lesson on Mathematics of seesaw.
So, the best what I can do for you in these circumstances, is to give you the reference to this lesson
- Using proportions to solve word problems in Physics
As everything else at this forum and at this site, this lesson is free of charge,
