How do our fingers find the center of mass?
I need a simple answer, preferably with how our fingers can find the center of mass with a ruler, thank you so much!
During a certain workout, you noticed that a 20-kg plate (say,
positioned 45 cm from the center) was on the left side of the
barbell while two 10-kg plates (say, one at 44.5 cm and the
other at 45.5 cm from the center) were on the right. Why is this
problematic?
O The center of gravity shifts to the left though still inside the barbell.
O The center of gravity shifts to the right though still inside the barbell.
The center of gravity shifts to the left, outside the barbell.
O The center of gravity shifts to the right, outside the barbell.
