6. A body consists of a 1.80 metre uniform long pole with mass 3.20kg, with a thin rectangular plate with mass 7.25kg and dimensions 80 x 45cm attached at the top. A light rod of length 1.20m emerges horizontally from the bottom right corner of the plate, with a uniform solid sphere with radius 0.50m and mass 1.60kg attached at the end of the rod (see figure). Determine the centre of mass of the body in the (x, y) plane.

A 30.3 cm-by-30.3 cm checkerboard has a mass of 86.3 g. There are four 28.5-g checkers located on the checkerboard, as shown in the figure. Relative to the origin located at the bottom left corner of the checkerboard, where is the center of mass of the checkerboard - checkers system? xcm = ;ycm = 11x y x
It is common to hang objects on doorknobs and over-the-door hooks. There is a limit to the amount of weight that a door can hold because of the forces exerted on the hinges. A door of height h = 2.5 m and width h/2 has a mass of M = 36 kg. The mass is distributed uniformly, so the center of mass is located at the geometric center of the door. One hinge is located a distance h/4 from the top of the door. The second hinge is a distance h/4 from the bottom of the door. Refer to (a) in the figure. The door’s weight is supported entirely by the two hinges and each hinge supports half of the weight. In other words, the vertical force exerted by each hinge is exactly one half of the total weight, including any additional load. For this problem, take the positive y-direction to be directly upward and the positive x-direction pointing from the hinge side of the door to the knob side. 1.) calculate the force, with its sign in Newtons that the upper hinge exerts on the door in the x axis.…
Three identical 8.60-kg masses are hung by three identical springs, as shown in the figure. (Figure 1) Each spring has a force constant of 5.90 kN/m and was 11.0 cm long before any masses were attached to it. Make a free-body diagram for the top mass. Draw the vectors starting at the black dot at the center of the top mass.
Given Side AC = 10 cm Find the centre of mass of the prism
A truck bed cargo shell has a rectangular glass window that is held up by two strut pistons. Assume the glass window is 0.483 m long and has a mass of 11.3 kg. Each piston is connected to the window 0.153 m from the glass' pivot point and makes an angle of 0, 22.5° with the glass. A mass-free rope is attached at the end of the glass making an angle of 62 = 43.5°. A box with mass, m, hangs from the end of the rope. Each of the pistons can exert a force of 228 N when fully extended. a) Find the maximum mass the box can be before the glass window begins to close. b) Find the tension in the rope. pivot point glass 02 camper rope shell 01 pistons (2)
