You can find the center of mass of an object by holding it up with two fingers and slowly pushing your fingers together. One finger will begin. slipping, but will eventually stop slipping and the other will slip instead. Calculate the first stopping point in the following situation. The object is a uniform stick (like a meter stick) of length L and mass m. Your fingers start one at each end. The coefficients of friction between your fingers and the stick are , and with s> . One finger (it doesn't matter which) starts off not slipping and the other finger begins slipping. What total distance does the first slipping-finger travel before it stops slipping?
