Answer:
Let the weight of the person be W and be located at a distance 'a' from the left scale as shown in the figure
Since the body is in equilibrium we can use equations of statics to analyse the problem.
Taking Sum of Moments about A we have

Taking Sum of Moments about B we have

Solving the above 2 equations for W and 'a' we get

Reduce friction because friction just makes things harder
Answer:
Speed, being a scalar quantity, is the rate at which an object covers distance. The average speed is the distance (a scalar quantity) per time ratio. ... Velocity is the rate at which the position changes. The average velocity is the displacement or position change (a vector quantity) per time ratio.
