The vertical forces that the ground exerts on a stationary van are shown. [Figure showing a van with two upward forces and dimensions] The van is 2.50 m long with the wheels at a distance of 0.600 m from the front of the van and 0.400 m from the rear of the van. What is the horizontal distance of the van's centre of gravity from the front of the van?
