The center of gravity of a 5.00 kg irregular object is shown in Fig.. You need to move the center of gravity 2.20 cm to the left by gluing on a 1.50 kg mass, which will then be considered as part of the object. Where should the center of gravity of this additional mass be located?
Consider the following distribution of objects: a 4.00-kg object with its center of gravity at (0, 0) m, a 5.20-kg object at (0, 3.00) m, and a 1.40-kg object at (2.00, 0) m. Where should a fourth object of mass 7.00 kg be placed so that the center of gravity of the four-object arrangement will be at (0, 0)?
Two scales are separated by 2.00 m, and a plank of mass 4.00 kg is placed between them. Each
scale is observed to read 2.00 kg. A person now lies on the plank, after which the right scale
reads 30.0 kg and the left scale reads 50.0 kg. How far from the right scale is the person's
center of gravity located?

- The height of the center of gravity of a man is determined by letting him lie on a board that is balanced on two weighing scales, one on his head and one on his feet. Suppose that the height of this man is 1.9 m. As he has lied down on the board as shown, the scales on his head read 455 N and the scales on his feet weighted 401 N. Where is his center of gravity located with respect to his feet? Answer must be in meters and in two decimal places.

The muscles at the back of the neck should, therefore, exert a force to keep the head erect. That is why your head falls forward when you fall asleep in the class. If the head weighs 43 N, calculate the force exerted by the muscles, Fm, using the information in the figure. Assume that x1= 4.9 cm, X2= 2.3 cm, and |Fw|= 43 N. A) Fm= ??
