A non-uniform plank XY XY\,XY has length 400 cm and mass 12 kg. A crate of mass 8 kg is placed on the plank at ZZZ, where XZ=100XZ = 100XZ=100 cm. The plank is held in horizontal equilibrium by two light vertical ropes attached at X X\,X and YYY.

Given that the tension in the rope at X X\,X is 15 N greater than the tension in the rope at YYY.

Find the distance, to the nearest cm, of the plank's centre of mass from XXX.
