Alice is going on a picnic and is aware that it will be easier to carry the picnic basket if it balances at the center where the handle is attached. She has placed a 2.25-kg container of potato salad at one end and a 0.650-kg package of hot dogs at the other end of a 52.0-cm long basket. Determine where she should place a 2.35-kg container of lemonade so that the basket balances at its center.
