QUESTION:
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?
ANSWER:Problem 3
Figure 9-36 shows a slab with dimensions = 11.0cm, = 2.80cm, and = 13.0cm. Half the slab consists of aluminum (density = ) and half consists of iron (density ). What are (a) the x coordinate, (b) the y coordinate, and (c) the z coordinate of the slab's center of mass?
Step by Step Solution
Step 1 of 3
(a)
X coordinate of centre of mass:
The x coordinate of the centre of mass is 6.5cm in the positive x axis. The sign will change depending upon the choice of origin.
