The location of a person€™s center of gravity relative to his or her height can be found by using the arrangement shown in Fig. 8.41. The scales are initially adjusted to zero with the board alone.
(a) Would you expect the location of the center of gravity to be (1) mid-way between the scales, (2) toward the scale at the per-son€™s head, or (3) toward the scale at the person€™s feet?

Why?
(b) Locate the center of gravity of the person relative to the horizontal dimension.
