To determine the location of the center of mass of a car, the car is driven over a scale. When the front wheels are over the scale, the weight recorded by the scale is 5800 N, and when the rear wheels are over the scale, the scale reads 6500 N

The distance between the front and rear wheels is 3.20 m. How far behind the front wheels is the center of mass located? A) 0.845 m B) 1.50 m C) 1.59 m D) 1.69 m E) 1.72 m
