Q#1. Three cubes of side lo, 270, and 370, are placed next to another (in contact) with their centers along a straight line and the 1= 270 cube is in the middle (see Figure below). a) If the cubes are made of the same uniform material, find along this line the position of the center of mass of the system. b) We now replace the cube in the middle (1 = 270) by another cube of the same volume but made of a different uniform material. What would be the mass density p of this cube compared to the mass density po of the initial cube if we want to locate the center of mass of the new system at the interface between the cube in the middle (1 = 2/0) and the right-hand cube (1 = 310)? -210-310- Answers: a) xCM = 3.83lo; b) p = 4.75 p0.

A cube of side a is cut out of another cube of side b as shown in the figure below. b a Find the location of the center of mass of the structure. (Use any variable or symbol stated above as necessary. Hint: Think of the missing part as a negative mass overlapping a positive mass. Assume the origin is in the bottom left corner shared by both cubes, and assume all values are positive with the x-axis to the right, the y-axis extending back into the page parallel to the sides of the cube, and the z-axis pointing up along the page.)

A man with mass m1 = 51 kg stands at the left end of a uniform boat with mass m2 = 168 kg and a length L = 3.3 m. Let the origin of our coordinate system be the man’s original location as shown in the drawing. Assume there is no friction or drag between the boat and water. 1) If the man now walks to the right edge of the boat, what is the location of the center of mass of the system? 2) After walking to the right edge of the boat, how far has the man moved from his original location? (What is his new location?) 3) After the man walks to the right edge of the boat, what is the new location the center of the boat? 4) Now the man walks to the very center of the boat. At what location does the man end up?

A student jumped on a trampoline. In the picture above, she has stretched the trampoline as much as it will stretch on this jump. Her body (her center of mass) has moved as low as it will go. A graph of the height of her body as a function of time would show only curved lines (no sharp corners and no straight line segments). Which of the following correctly describes the acceleration of the student when the center of mass of the student is at its lowest point (at the instant shown in the picture above)? O Her acceleration points up. O Her acceleration is between zero and 9.8 meters per second squared, pointing down. O Her acceleration is zero. O Her acceleration is greater than 9.8 meters per second squared, pointing down. O Her acceleration is 9.8 meters per second squared, pointing down.
