A stiff board is balanced in the middle. A 6 pound weight is fixed 2 feet from the middle and an 8 pound weight is fixed 3 feet from the middle on the opposite side of the middle. If the 6 pound weight is pushed down 2 inches, how many inches is the center of gravity displaced? Describe an upward displacement as positive and a downward displacement as negative. 2 ft 3 ft (6 lb (8 1b inches
