### Educational Content: Calculating the Center of Mass of a Bent Wire#### Problem StatementThe figure shows a uniform 66-g wire bent into a right triangle with \(L = 13.1 \, \text{cm}\) and \(H = 8.5 \, \text{cm}\). Calculate the distance \(r_{cm}\) from the bottom left corner to the wire's center of mass. Report your answer in cm.**Hint:** Each segment's mass is proportional to its length divided by the wire’s total length. Also, the center of the hypotenuse is halfway across the horizontal leg and halfway up the vertical leg.#### Diagram InformationA right triangle is depicted with:- Base \(L\) measuring \(13.1 \, \text{cm}\).- Height \(H\) measuring \(8.5 \, \text{cm}\).The dimensions create a right-angled triangle where the wire follows the triangle’s perimeter.#### Task1. **Determine Segment Lengths:** - Calculate the hypotenuse using the Pythagorean theorem: \[ \text{Hypotenuse} = \sqrt{L^2 + H^2} \]2. **Calculate the Mass Proportion:** - Determine the length of each segment. - Use the ratio of segment length to the total wire length to find the mass distribution.3. **Find the Center of Mass Coordinates:** - Calculate the x and y coordinates of the wire's center of mass using: \[ r_{cm} = \frac{\sum (m_i \cdot r_i)}{M} \] - Sum the moments about each axis for the segments.4. **Result:** - Record your numerical answer assuming three significant figures.#### Answer BoxUse the space provided below to enter the calculated center of mass:\[ r_{cm} = \, \_\_\_\_ \, \text{cm} \]> **Note:** This exercise aids in understanding the calculation of the center of mass for composite objects by simplifying the problem into segments of uniform mass distribution.

Hi I needed help with this question. As shown in the figure below, a uniform beam is supported by a cable at one end and the force of friction at the other end. The cable makes an angle of ? = 30°, the length of the beam is L = 2.00 m, the coefficient of static friction between the wall and the beam is ?s = 0.600 and the weight of the beam is represented by w. Determine the minimum distance x from point A at which an additional weight 2w (twice the weight of the rod) can be hung without causing the rod to slip at point A. X=?
