The centre of mass of three bodies each of mass 1 kg located at the points (0,0), (3, 0) and (0, 4) in the x-y plane is |
|
Answer» `((4)/(3) , 1)` `(x_(2) , y_(2)) = (3 , 0) ,m_(3) - 1 kg , (x_(3) , y_(3)) = (0,4)` `X_(CM) = (m_(1) x_(1) + m_(2) x_(2) + m_(3) x_(3))/(m_(1) + m_(2) + m_(3)) = (1 xx 0+ 1xx 3 + 1 xx 0)/(1 + 1 + 1) = 1` `Y_(CM) = (m_(1) y_(1) + m_(2) y_(2) + m_(3) y_(3))/(m_(1) + m_(2) + m_(3)) = (1 xx 0 + 1 xx 0 + 1 xx 4)/(1 + 1 + 1) = (4)/(3)` The coordinates of centre of MASS are `(1 , (4)/(3))` |
