The following figure shows how a scale with a capacity of only \( 250 \mathrm{~N} \) can be used to weight a heavier person. The density. It is free to pivot about he end (P) farthest from the scale. What is the weight of a person standing \( 1.2 \mathrm{~m} \) from the pivot end, if the scale reads \( 210 \mathrm{~N} \) ? Assume that the board remains nearly horizontal.
