A 500 N person picks up a 50 N suitcase positioned so that the suitcase’s centre of gravity is 25 cm lateral to the location of the person’s centre of gravity . If the person does not lean to compensate for the added load in any way, where is the combined Centre of Gravity position for the person and suitcase with respect to the person’s original centre of gravity position (give answer in cm)?
Therefore, the centre of gravity will be at 2.273cm with respect to man's original centre of gravity.
Note that the C.O.G can be in negative x-axis but for convenience, I have taken it to positive X-axis by assuming that man is keeping the suitcase in his left hand as shown in the figure,
