Question

A person balances on one leg while extending their other leg and leaning forwards,as shown in the image. The mass of their leg is 10.0 kg and the mass of

their torso is23.0 kg. If the distance from their hip to the center of mass of their leg is 40 cm(distance A in the image) and the distance from their hip to the center of mass of their torso is 36 cm (distance B in the image), what is the net magnitude of the moment at the hip from these two forces? Provide your answer in Newton-meters to one decimal place with the clockwise direction representing a positive moment about the hip (do not include units in your answer and your answer should be positive as you are only asked for magnitude).
