Question:
Certain features of a person, such as height and mass, are fixed (at least over relatively long periods of time). Are the following features also fixed?
(a) Location of the center of gravity of the body;
(b) Moment of inertia of the body about an axis through the person’s center of mass. Explain your reasoning.

Take 2 forks and place them on one another in such a way that we can place the coin in between the prongs. Now try to place the coin with forks on the edge of the glass. It will take you some time to adjust the coin on the edge. This requires a little practice to adjust the coin on the edge of the glass. With a little effort, we will see the coin sitting on the edge calmly. If you look closely you will see it wobbling a little bit. The mass is in the handles of the forks so as a low center of mass it stables as it looks.
