Question 1) Jacob and Ravleen are moving furniture. They need to move the filing cabinet over 6 feet and it is very heavy.

Ravleen says it's better to push at point B because the center of gravity is lower. Which person is correct and EXPLAIN why and what may happen if it is pushed in the wrong spot.
