Center of Gravity of a system

The centre of gravity is a property that is based on the geometry of a rigid body or any particle. It is described as an equilibrium point or a hypothetical location where the total weight of the body is concentrated.

Question

Please help! a) how large is the force exerted by the left hand AND right hand cable on the platform?

A uniform 5.0 m long 25 kg plank is to hold two people washing windows on a downtown skyscraper. The plank is supported by a rope at each end, and each of the ropes has a breaking point of 1200 N (the maximum tension allowed before the rope breaks). If the mass of the window washer that is standing 1.0 m from the right end of the plank is 85 kg and the second window washer with a mass of 75 kg stands 2.0 m from the left end of the plank, then what are the magnitudes of the tensions in each rope? Do either of the ropes break? Include a force or free-body diagram of the situation.
