Homework Statement
The mass of the tray itself is 0.187 kg, and its center of gravity is located at its geometrical center. On the tray is a 1.31 kg plate of food and a 0.300 kg cup of coffee. Assume L1 = 0.0610 m, L2 = 0.130 m, L3 = 0.224 m, L4 = 0.365 m and L5 = 0.387 m. Obtain the magnitude of the force T exerted by the thumb. This force acts perpendicular to the tray, which is being held parallel to the ground.
