Question

The positions of three particles, written as (x, y) coordinates, are: particle 1 (mass 4.4 kg) at (4.3 m, 0 m); particle 2 (mass 5.6 kg) at (1.9 m, 3.5 m); particle 3 (mass 2.6 kg) at ( -1.4 m, -1.6 m). What is the location of the x-coordinate of the center of mass xcm? What is the location of the y coordinate of the center of mass ycm ?

Step 1

The total mass of the system is the sum of the masses of the three particles: Total mass = mass of particle 1 + mass of particle 2 + mass of particle 3 Total mass = 4.4 kg + 5.6 kg + 2.6 kg Total mass = 12.6 kg Show more…
