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 he 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 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) TVα ΑΣΦ ? dcm = ст

23.21 • Points A and B lie within a region of space where there is a uni- form electric field that has no x- or z-component; only the y-component E, is nonzero. Point A is at y = 8.00 cm and point B is at y = 15.0 cm. The potential difference between B and A is Vg – VA = +12.0 V, so point B is at higher potential than point A. (a) Is Ey positive or nega- tive? (b) What is the magnitude of the electric field? (c) Point C has coordinates x = 5.00 cm, y = 5.00 cm. What is the potential difference between points B and C?
John’s mass is 87.7 kg, and Barbara’s is 59.9 kg. He is standing on the x axis at xJ = +10.3 m, while she is standing on the x axis at xB = +2.10 m. They switch positions. How far and in which direction does their center of mass move as a result of the switch?
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.

Macmillan Learning A thin stick is placed along the x-axis so that one of its ends is at x₁ = 0.00 m and the other one at x₂ = 4.15 m. The stick has a non-uniform mass density λ(x) = ax + b, where a = 0.089 kg/m² and b = 1.077 kg/m. What is the x-coordinate of the center of mass of the stick? Xcm = m
