Question
You are about to do a back squat. You place a 20 kg plate on one end of the bar and mistakenly place a 40 kg plate on the other end of the bar. The bar is 2 m long and has a mass of 20 kg without the plates on it. The 20 kg plate is located 0.4 m from the left end of the bar and the 40 kg plate is located 0.4 m from the right end of the bar. How far (m) from the right end of the bar is the center of gravity located?

Provide your answer in appropriate units of meters (m), seconds (s), kilograms (kg), radians (rad) or combinations thereof, such as m/s or m/s^2. Use at least three significant figures in your answer, do not use scientific notation. Using more significant figures will not be considered incorrect; using fewer may lead to errors due to rounding.arrow_forward
