Center of mass of the given system
Answer to Problem 50P
Center of mass of the given system is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Three cubes are given having sides lo , 2lo , 3lo attached to each other.
Formula used:
Calculation:
Let’s find moment of inertia from the smaller edge.
Mass is the product of volume and density.
Let density be 1(uniform cube)
Substitute the values in center of mass equation.
But,
So,
Conclusion:
Therefore, center of mass is at 1.915 l
