the cb of the board, from the end, is 2 m, or .5 m inland.
Sum moments about the edge of the pool.
.5*190-d*750=0 for stability
solve for d, the distance she can walk out from the edge.
Think out the equation I wrote.
A 750-N physics student carries a 4.0 meter board, uniform in shape, and 190 newtons in weight to our swimming pool. The student then places the board on the deck and next to the pool in such a way so 1.5 meters of the board extends out over the edge of the pool. How far, in meters, may the student walk out onto the board, with tipping?
