Imagine you are the structural engineer and it is your job to determine if a cantilever design is stable or not.

You will use Python to find the center of mass of a combination of Jenga blocks.

Next, you will determine the number of blocks at which point the structure becomes unstable.

Tips: This code can be solved in many different ways. Click here to see 3 different ways to go about solving this problem

Write your code to allow user input for the number of blocks to test in the ensemble.
Plot the combined center of mass (x, y) coordinates as each block is added.
Alter the code to allow for USER INPUT of block sizes
