Problem 12.6 The three masses shown in the figure(Figure 1) are connected by massless, rigid rods. Assume that m 250g and -260g m2 Figure 1 v of 1 10 cm 10 cm A O 100 g What is the z-coordinate of the center of mass? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units Value Cm Submit My Answers Give U Incorrect Try Again Part B What is the y coordinate of the center of mass? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units Value Units Submit My Answers Give UExplanation / Answer
m1 = 250 g x1 = 0 y1 = 10 cm
m2 = 260 g x2 = 10 y2 = 0 cm
m2 = 100g x3 = 0 y3 = 0
x coordinate of CM = xcm = (m1*x1)+(m2*x2)+(m3*x3)/(m1+m2+3)
Xcm = ((250*0)+(260*10)+(100*0))/(250+260+100) = 4.26 cm
--------------------------
part(B)
y coordinate of CM = Ycm = (m1*y1)+(m2*y2)+(m3*y3)/(m1+m2+3)
Ycm = ((250*10)+(260*0)+(100*0))/(250+260+100) = 4.09 cm
