Turning effects of forces — practice question

The upward forces from the ground acting on a van that is stationary are shown. The van is $2.50\,\text{m}$ long, with the wheels $0.600\,\text{m}$ from the front of the van and $0.400\,\text{m}$ from the rear of the van. How far horizontally is the van’s centre of gravity from the front of the van?

  • A$0.540\,\text{m}$
  • B$0.960\,\text{m}$
  • C$1.14\,\text{m}$
  • D$1.36\,\text{m}$
