Someone stole the wheels off this truck but left it perfectly balanced on a single jack stand! The center of mass calculation here is more precise than my lab measurements during finals week. Finding the exact balance point of a 6,000+ pound vehicle requires solving a complex moment equation where Σ(Fi × ri) = 0. The thief essentially performed a real-world physics demonstration of static equilibrium that would make any engineering professor weep with joy. Criminal activity has never been so mathematically impressive!
