Problem 9: Three beads are placed along a thin rod. The first bead, of mass m₁ = 22 g, is placed a distance d₁ = 1.1 cm from the left end of the rod. The second bead, of mass m₂ = 11 g, is placed a distance d₂ = 1.6 cm to the right of the first bead. The third bead, of mass m3 = 43 g, is placed a distance d3 4.6 cm to the right of the second bead. Assume an x-axis that points to the right. Rizwan, Shahroz - srizwan@sfsu.edu
