A boy who weighs 98lb is playing basketball on an outdoor basketball goal that uses weights set on its base to stay upright. If the boy hangs on the edge of the rim as shows, what is the minimum number of disk weights (20lb each), that must be placed on the base at point C to keep the goal from tipping over? NOTE: If the goal is unbalanced it will tip at point A.
