A massless, rigid board is placed across two bathroom scales that are separated by a distance of 1.89 m. A person lies on the board. The scale under his head reads 470 N, and the scale under his feet reads 334 N. (a) Find the weight of the person. (b) Locate the center of gravity of the person relative to the scale beneath his head.

As part of your daily workout, you lie on your back and push with your feet against a platform attached to two stiff springs arranged side by side so that they are parallel to each other. when you push the platform, you compress the springs. you do an amount of work of 79.0 j when you compress the springs a distance of 0.230 m from their uncompressed length. (a) what magnitude of force must you apply to hold the platform in this position? (b)how much additional work must you do to move the platform a distance 0.230 m farther? (c) what maximum force must you apply to move the platform a distance 0.230 m farther?
