So, I take the body and I write down all the forces on it.
-
So, I have F1 coming down here.
-
I have F2 there.
-
Then there is... Of course, that cannot be the whole story
-
because the seesaw is not going into the ground.
-
That is the support and the normal force from the support.
-
And these three forces together
-

So let's see.
-
So, here is what I want you to understand.
-
F1 is known.
-
Let's give it some name, 100 newtons.
