Answer:

The answer is 0.8 m

Explanation:

According the attached diagram, if we take the momentum in the point 0:

\frac{m_{D}*5.1 }{2} =m_{J} *X

Where

mD = mass of Diane = 64.2 kg

mJ = mass of Jack = 93.6 kg

Replacing:

X=\frac{\frac{64.2*5.1}{2} }{93.6} =1.75m

\frac{L}{2} -X=Y=\frac{5.1}{2} -1.75\\Y=0.8m
