In exercise physiology it is sometimes important to determine the location of a person's center of gravity with respect to the plantar area. This can be done with the arrangement shown in the figure. A lightweight plank is supported by two scales that indicate Fg1 = 380.0 N and Fg2 = 320.0 N. The scales are separated by a distance of 2.00 m. At what distance from the woman's feet is her center of gravity? If a) the weight of the plank is neglected. b) if the plank has a weight of 55.0 N.

Center of Gravity of a system

The centre of gravity is a property that is based on the geometry of a rigid body or any particle. It is described as an equilibrium point or a hypothetical location where the total weight of the body is concentrated.
