The drawing shows a human figure approximately in a sitting position. For the purposes of this problem, there are three parts to the figure, and the center of mass of each one is shown in the drawing. These parts are: (1) the torso, neck, and head (total mass = 42.0 kg) with a center of mass located on the y axis at a point 0.355 m above the origin, (2) the upper legs (mass = 19.5 kg) with a center of mass located on the x axis at a point 0.178 m to the right of the origin, and (3) the lower legs and feet (total mass = 10.5 kg) with a center of mass located 0.487 to the right of and 0.206 m below the origin. Find the (a) x coordinate and (b) the y coordinate of the center of mass of the human figure. Note that the mass of the arms and hands (approximately 12% of the whole-body mass) has been ignored to simplify the drawing. (a) Number (b) Number Units Units
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 = ст

Wind energy is gaining increased attention, generating an increased interest in windmill technology. Because windmill blades (vanes) rotate about a central axis, one of the most important physical properties of a windmill is its moment of inertia. Given is a picture of a typical windmill, where the geometry and center of mass of one of the vanes is illustrated. The mass of each vane is 411 kg. The distance from the center of mass of the vane to axis B is ?1=3.15 m. The distance from the center of mass of the vane to the center of the windmill hub is ��2=4.88 m. If the moment of inertia of a vane about axis A is 241 kg·m2 and about axis B is 5860 kg·m2, calculate the moment of inertia ?total of the entire assembly about the axis that passes through the windmill's hub and is perpendicular to the screen. (Ignore the hub and assume the vanes are flat.)
