- 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!arrow_forwardDuring 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.arrow_forwardExercise 5. Solve the following problem. 1.
