Question

a 2.5 kg mass is hung from the 0 cm mark on a 1 kg meter stick. a mass of 0.5 kg is hung from the 100 cm mark of the meter stick. where is the center of mass of this system?

Answer 1

The center of mass of this system is 25 cm.

The middle of mass of a distribution of mass in the area is the particular factor in which the weighted relative function of the distributed mass sums to zero. this is the factor to which a force may be implemented to reason a linear acceleration without an angular acceleration.

Calculation:-

X centre of mass = (0 × 2.5) + ( 1× 50) + (0.5 × 100) / 2.5 + 1 + 0.5

                             = 25 cm

The center of mass is a role defined relative to an object or machine or gadget. it is the average position of all of the parts of the gadget, weighted according to their masses. For easy rigid objects with uniform density, the middle of mass is placed on the centroid.
