Post by: ppk on Mar 31, 2012
To determine the location of the center of mass of a car, the car is driven over a scale. When the front wheels are over the scale, the weight recorded by the scale is 5800 N, and when the rear wheels are over the scale, the scale reads 6500 N. The distance between the front and rear wheels is 3.20 m. How far behind the front wheels is the center of mass located?
A) 0.845 m
B) 1.50 m
C) 1.59 m
D) 1.69 m
E) 1.72 m
