Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When one person leans towards the center of the seesaw, they are shifting their weight towards the other person, causing their end of the seesaw to rise. This is because the force of their weight is now acting at a shorter distance from the fulcrum, increasing the torque and causing the seesaw to tilt.
