Question

In exercise physiology studies, it is sometimes important to determine the location of a person's center of gravity. This can be done with the arrangement shown in the figure below. A ight plank rests on two scales that read Fg1 -360 N and Fg2- 270 N. The scales are separated by a distance of 2.00 m. How far from the woman's feet is her center of gravity 2.00 m g1

Answer 1

We assume that center of gravity is x meter away and about this point net torque is zero . Thus we can find the value of x .
