1) Centre of Mass Calculation A person is lying on a bench, which is placed onto two bathroom scales. The length of the bench (D) is 2.5 m. The mass measured by the left scale is 40 kg; the mass measured by the right scale is 32 kg. Calculate the distances d1 and d2, as indicated in the figure below (i.e., the distances between the scale and the centre of mass). Remember that: d2/d1 = M1/M2 and d1 + d2 = D Please report your answers to 2 decimal places and in Sl units. Scale Scale d1 d2 D d1 = Unit d2 = Unit
