The 50-kg stuntman places a 50-kg uniform 6-meter plank on top of a skyscraper and stands on the tip of it that overhangs the building as shown. What is the approximate distance that the overhang can be extended without disaster?
1) 0.5 m
2) 1 m
3) 1.5 m
If the 6-meter board has a mass of only 25 kilograms, then the maximum overhang distance would be about
5) 0.5 m.
6) 1 m.
7) 1.5 m.
8) 2 m.
Question 2

If the fulcrum of the seesaw is repositioned so each can sit at an END of the board and be in balance, then if each moves inward half way the
