For a 70.0 kg person, the mass of the upper leg is 8.60 kg, while that of the lower leg (including the foot) is 5.25 kg. Find the location of the center of mass of this leg, relative to the hip joint, if it is (a) fully extended, and (b) bent at the knee to form a right angle with the upper leg.arrow_forward
- You’ve been given the challenge of balancing a uniform, rigid meter-stick with mass M = 110 g on a pivot. Stacked on the 0-cm end of the meter stick are n identical coins, each with mass m = 2.9 g, so that the center of mass of the coins is directly over the end of the meter stick. The pivot point will be measured from the 0-cm end of the meter stick. Determine the distance da in cm if there is na = 1 coin on the end of the meter stick, and the system is to remain in static equilibrium.arrow_forwardA rod 2 meters long has a linear density of p(x) = 8 - 3x.

The monument is made from tens of thou- sands of small stone blocks of density = 800 kg/m3 . The monument is 15.7 m high and 64.8 m wide at its base and is everywhere 3.60 m thick from front to back. Before the monument was built many years ago, all the stone blocks lay on the ground. (a) Choosing a coordinate system with x = 0 at the center of the pyramid, y = 0 at the base of the pyramid, and z = 0 at the face of the pyramid shown in the diagram, determine the coordinates of the center of mass of the pyramid in the x, y, and z directions. (b) How much work did laborers do on the blocks to put them in position while building the entire monument? Note: The gravitational potential energy of an object–Earth system is given by Ug = MgyCM, where M is the total mass of the object and yCM is the elevation of its center of mass above the chosen reference level.arrow_forwardThe figure shows a composite slab with dimensions d₁ = 11.9 cm, d₂ = 2.94 cm, and d3 = 12.8 cm.
