1. An image reading apparatus comprising:
a body support section mounted on an apparatus mounting surface;
an apparatus body supported by the body support section;
a reading section configured to read a document; and
a reading transport path that is a document transport path on which the document is transported, the reading transport path facing the reading section, wherein
the apparatus body is configured to rotate about a rotation shaft with respect to the body support section and the apparatus body is rotated to be switched to a first position or a second position at which an angle formed by the reading transport path and the mounting surface is smaller than an angle formed by the reading transport path and the mounting surface at the first position,
a position of the center of gravity of the apparatus body is located at a position vertically above a shaft axis of the rotation shaft and closer than the shaft axis to an apparatus front in an apparatus depth direction that is a direction intersecting the axis direction of the rotation shaft and the vertical direction when the apparatus body is in the first position, and is located at a position vertically above the shaft axis of the rotation shaft and closer than the shaft axis to an apparatus rear in the depth direction when the apparatus body is in the second position.
