Question
The CM of an empty 1200-kg car is 2.50 m behind the front of the car.
A.)How far from the front of the car will the CM be when two people sit in the front seat 2.90 m from the front of the car, and three people sit in the back seat 4.00 m from the front? Assume that each person has a mass of 70.0 kg. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
