- Objects with a uniform mass distribution and a symmetric shape have a center of mass at the center of the object. For non-uniform objects, the center of mass needs to be determined experimentally. To measure the center of mass of such an object, a pivot is placed in the middle of a board and the top of the non-uniform object is placed to the right of the pivot. When a uniform 10.0 kg mass has its center placed 60.0 cm to the left of the pivot the system balances perfectly (as shown below). The mass of the non-uniform object is measured with an electronic scale in the lab and found to beM = 39.8 kg . Top of non-uniform object 10.0 kg M 60.0 cm Part A Where is the center of mass of the non-uniform object? (report the location from the top of the object, and in cm) ΑΣΦ ? dCM = стNixon is a tile worker, he hates physics and only likes cutting and shaping his tiles. Her boss has given him a tile. It has a width of 50 cm. The tile must fit around a corner of a fireplace so a piece is sawed out. The extracted piece is a smaller square and its side length is only 25.0 cm. Because of the cutout segment, the center of mass of the ceramic tile shifts a bit from point A to point B. Nixon needs help to find the distance between point A and B the ceramic tile her boss gave him. 50cm 25cm 8 SA girl and a boy stand at opposite ends of a 5 m long uniform board with mass 50 kg. The girl’s mass is 30 kg and the boy’s mass is 40 kg. Where is the center of mass of the girl/board/boy system measured relative to the girl?
- A person is standing still on a horizontal surface. They are holding a dumbbell weighing 10 kg in their right hand, with their arm extended horizontally. The person's mass is 70 kg. Assume that the force due to gravity acts at the center of mass of the person, which is located 1 meter above the ground and directly above the midpoint of their feet. The center of mass of the dumbbell is 0.5 meters from the shoulder joint (the point where the arm is attached to the body). Draw a free body diagram for the person and the dumbbell. Identify all the forces acting on the person. Calculate the torque about the feet caused by the weight of the person and the dumbbell.Among the elderly population, a sideway fall is a most frequent cause of hip fracture. An old man of mass 65 kg and height 1.7m was sent to Prince of Wales Hospital due to sideway fall. He slipped and fell laterally down with a straight body. Before falling, his centre of mass was 0.9 m above ground. His centre of mass was on the ground at the end of the fall. The radius of gyration about the anterior-posterior axis at his centre of mass was 0.55 m. (a) Calculate the initial potential energy before his fall. (b) Assuming his potential energy would be converted to linear kinetic energy of his centre of mass and rotational kinetic energy about his centre of mass, calculate the impact velocity v of his centre of mas right before he hit the ground. C. M. 1.7m 0.9mA uniform rod of length 0.8 m and mass 1.8 kg, has two point masses at each end. The point mass on the left end has a mass 1.4 kg, and the one on the right end has a mass 3 kg. Calculate the location of the center of mass of this system in terms of the distance from the left end.
