Hi, would anyone be able to help me with this?
I've got an answer of 1.8m and that doesn't seem right as the plank is only 2m long.
here's the question:
A non-uniform plank AB of mass 20 kg and length 2 m is pivoted at its midpoint.
The plank is in equilibrium in a horizontal position when a particle of mass 5 kg is placed 40 cm from A and another particle of mass 8 kg is placed 30 cm from B.
Find the distance of the centre of mass of the plank from A
thank youuu
