Problem 3

Figure 9-36 shows a slab with dimensions d1 ! 11.0 cm, d2 ! 2.80 cm, and d3 ! 13.0 cm. Half the slab consists of aluminum (density ! 2.70 g/cm3) and half consists of iron (density ! 7.85 g/cm3).What are (a) the x coordinate, (b) the y coordinate, and (c) the z coordinateof the slabs center of mass?

Step-by-Step Solution:

Step 1 of 3

Density and Pressure Fluids Liquids  incompressible Gases  compressible Particle Density: Pparticle/V Density: p= M/V Pressure: P= F/A Hydrostatic (liquid at rest) (no order kinetic energy)  Pbottom Ptop= pgΔh  Pbottom P top+ pg(h toph bottom  F – F = mg top bottom Units: 1 atm= 101 kPa= 14.7 pounds per square inch  M= pv  M=pAh Pascal’s...
