Serway & Jewett — Static Equilibrium and Elasticity: Problem 26
In exercise physiology studies, it is sometimes important to determine the location of a person’s center of mass. This determination can be done with the arrangement shown in Figure P12.26. A light plank rests on two scales, which read \(F_{g1} = 380\text{ N}\) and \(F_{g2} = 320\text{ N}\). A distance of \(1.65\text{ m}\) separates the scales. How far from the woman’s feet is her center of mass?
