Two people carry a heavy electric motor by placing it on a light board 4.00 m long. One person lifts at one end with a force of 250 N, and the other lifts the opposite end with a force of 750 N. (a)What is the weight of the motor? N
Where along the board is its center of gravity located? m (from the end where the 250 N force is applied)
(b)Suppose the board is not light but weighs 200 N, with its center of gravity at its center, and the two people exert the same force as before. What is the weight of the motor in this case? N Where is its center of gravity located? m (from the end where the 250 N force is applied)
