Step 1
First, we need to find the center of mass position vector $\overline{\mathbf{r}}$. The formula for the center of mass position vector is: $$\overline{\mathbf{r}} = \frac{m_1\mathbf{r}_1 + m_2\mathbf{r}_2 + m_3\mathbf{r}_3}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3}$$ Show moreā¦

A system consists of three particles $A, B,$ and $C .$ We know that $m_{A}=3 \mathrm{kg}, m_{B}=2 \mathrm{kg},$ and $m_{C}=4 \mathrm{kg}$ and that the velocities of the particles expressed in $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ are, respectively, $\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{A}}=4 \mathrm{i}+2 \mathrm{j}+2 \mathrm{k}$ $\mathrm{v}_{B}=4 \mathrm{i}+3 \mathrm{j},$ and $\mathrm{v}_{C}=-2 \mathrm{i}+4 \mathrm{j}+2 \mathrm{k}$. Determine the angular momentum $\mathrm{H}_{o}$ of the system about $0 .$
