Question

g Three masses are located in the x- y plane as follows: a mass of 6 kg is located at (0 m, 0 m), a mass of 4 kg is located at (3 m, 0 m), and a mass of 2 kg is located at (0 m, 3 m). Where is the center of mass of the system

Answer 1

Xcm = (6 * 0 + 4 & 3 + 2 * 0) / 12 = 1

Ycm = (6 * 0 + 4 * 0 + 2 * 3) / 12 = 1/2

(Xcm , Ycm) = (1 , 1/2)

Using definition of center of mass
