Halliday, Resnick & Walker β€” Equilibrium and Elasticity: Problem Problem_14

In Fig. 12.18, a horizontal scaffold, of length 2.00 m and uniform mass 50.0 kg, is suspended from a building by two cables. The scaffold has dozens of paint cans stacked on it at various points. The total mass of the paint cans is 75.0 kg. The tension in the cable at the right is 722 N. How far horizontally from that cable is the center of mass of the system of paint cans?

πŸ“ Solution Approach

Given: 12.18, a, 2.00 m, 50.0 kg, 75.0 kg, 722 N
