You are standing on flat ground. Your head and upper torso weighs 415.61 N, with a centre of gravity 1.33 m above the ground. The middle part of your body weighs 161.98 N, at 0.867 m above the ground. And the lower part of your body weighs 93.37 N, at 0.328 m above ground. Relative to the ground, find the location of the centre of gravity of your entire body.

A uniform rod is 2.00 m long and has mass 1.80 kg. A 2.40 kg clamp is attached to the rod. How far should the center of gravity of the clamp be from the left-hand end of the rod in order for the center of gravity of the composite object to be 1.20 m from the left-hand end of the rod?
Why is the following situation impossible? A uniform beam of mass mb = 3.00 kg and length ℓ = 1.00 m supports blocks with masses m1 = 5.00 kg and m2 = 15.0 kg at two positions as shown. The beam rests on two triangular blocks, with point P a distance d = 0.300 m to the right of the center of gravity of the beam. The position of the object of mass m2 is adjusted along the length of the beam until the normal force on the beam at O is zero.
