The anatomical center of gravity G of a person can be determined by using a scale and a rigid board having a uniform weight W1 and length l. With the person’s weight W known, the person lies down on the board and the scale reading P is recorded. From this show how to calculate the location xc of the center of mass. Discuss the best place l1 for the smooth support at B in order to improve the accuracy of this experiment.

Given:

a = 120 mm

b = 240 mm

c = 120 mm
