To determine how far a 58.6 kg diver must stand on a diving board to exert a torque of 1110 m*N relative to the left support post, the torque formula T = m*g*d is used. The diver's weight is calculated using g = 9.8 m/s², and the distance (d) is the unknown variable. Participants in the discussion emphasize understanding torque and substituting known values into the equation to solve for distance. The importance of drawing a diagram and organizing known facts is also highlighted as a helpful strategy. Ultimately, the solution requires substituting the mass and gravitational force to find the distance needed for the specified torque.
