A 4-m long plank with a weight of 80 N is placed on a dock with 1 mof its length extended over the water, and 3 m on the dock. Theplank is uniform in density so that the center of gravity of theplank is located at the center of the plank. A boy with a weight of150 N is standing on the plank and moving out slowly from the edgeof the doctor onto the 1 m portion of the plank.

a) What is the torque exerted by the weight of the plank about thepivot point at the edge of the dock? (Treat all the weight asacting through the center of gravity.)

b) How far from the edge of the dock can the boy move until theplank is just on the verge of tipping?

c) How can the boy test this conclusion without falling in thewater? Explain.
