Question

Transcribed Image Text:A uniform, 20-kg, 8.0-m-long, wooden plank that is parallel to level ground is supported by two pivots: one pivot is at the extreme
left end of the plank, and the other pivot is 3.0 m inward from the extreme right end of the plank. A 80-kg construction worker,
who is initally standing on the extreme left end of the plank, begins to walk to the right. How far from the right end of the plank
will the worker be located when the plank begins to tip?
