A young crew is trying to quickly finish some touch-up painting to complete a job. Rather than setting up a secure work area, they decide to try a shortcut. Worker A will hold the car end of a 8.00m work plank that weighs 112N and is secured with a hinge on the opposite end. Worker B will stand on the plank 4.88m from worker A. Worker B also brings up his paint can of mass m_c=3.56 kg which he places 0.250 m from where he is standing on the plank (between the two workers). Worker A needs to supply 496N of force to keep the end of the plank stable. How much W does worker B weigh?
