Here my problem:
A diving board has a vertical depression of 6 inches when a 100-pound man stands 8 feet from the fulcrum. Determine the weight of a man who causes the same diving board to deflect 4 inches vertically when he stands 6 feet from the fulcrum. Show your reasoning and complete solution.

Check Khan Academy for help first as we can only provide hints. We can’t do your homework for you that not how it works on PF.

Also you could work with your teacher or fellow students.
