A cat walks along a plank with mass M = 6.00 kg. The plank is supported by two sawhorses. The center of mass of theplank is a distance d1 = 0.850 m to the left of sawhorse B. When the cat is a distance d2 = 1.11 m to the right of sawhorseB, the plank just begins to tip. What is the mass of the cat, m?
