Mass Center Determine the coordinates (x, y) of the center of mass of the area in blue in the figure below. Answers: x=(3)/(8)a

Naya [18.7K]

Explanation:

The x and y coordinates of the center of mass are:

xcm = ∫ x dm / m = ∫ x ρ dA / ∫ ρ dA

ycm = ∫ y dm / m = ∫ y ρ dA / ∫ ρ dA

Assuming uniform density, the center of mass is also the center of area.

xcm = ∫ x dA / ∫ dA = ∫ x y dx / A

ycm = ∫ y dA / ∫ dA = ∫ ½ y² dx / A

First, let's find the area:

A = ∫ y dx

A = ∫₀ᵃ (-h/a² x² + h) dx

A = -⅓ h/a² x³ + hx |₀ᵃ

A = -⅓ h/a² (a)³ + h(a)

A = ⅔ ha

Now, let's find the x coordinate of the center of mass:

xcm = ∫ x y dx / A

xcm = ∫₀ᵃ x (-h/a² x² + h) dx / (⅔ ha)

xcm = ∫₀ᵃ (-h/a² x³ + hx) dx / (⅔ ha)

xcm = (-¼ h/a² x⁴ + ½ hx²) |₀ᵃ / (⅔ ha)

xcm = (-¼ h/a² (a)⁴ + ½ h(a)²) / (⅔ ha)

xcm = (¼ ha²) / (⅔ ha)

xcm = ⅜ a

Next, we find the y coordinate of the center of mass:

ycm = ∫ y² dx / A

ycm = ∫₀ᵃ ½ (-h/a² x² + h)² dx / (⅔ ha)

ycm = ∫₀ᵃ ½ (h²/a⁴ x⁴ − 2h²/a² x² + h²) dx / (⅔ ha)

ycm = ½ (⅕ h²/a⁴ x⁵ − ⅔ h²/a² x³ + h² x) |₀ᵃ / (⅔ ha)

ycm = ½ (⅕ h²/a⁴ (a)⁵ − ⅔ h²/a² (a)³ + h² (a)) / (⅔ ha)

ycm = ½ (⁸/₁₅ h²a) / (⅔ ha)

ycm = ⅖ h

Two forces are acting on a wheelbarrow. One force is pushing to the right and an equal force is pushing to the left. What can yo

andreev551 [17]

-- As far as we know, the forces on the wheelbarrow are balanced.

-- That tells us that the net force on the wheelbarrow is zero, just
as if there were no forces acting on it at all.

-- That tells us that the wheelbarrow's acceleration is zero ... its
speed and direction of motion are not changing.

-- That tells us that the wheelbarrow is moving in a straight line
at a constant speed. It's very possible that relative to us, the speed
may be zero, but we can't tell that from the given information.

Two airplanes leave an airport at the same time. The velocity of the first airplane is 730 m/h at a heading of 44.3 ◦ . The velo

Goshia [24]

Answer:

So airplane will be 1324.9453 m apart after 2.9 hour

Explanation:

So if we draw the vectors of a 2d graph we see that the difference in angles is = 83 - 44.3 = $83-44.3=38.7^{\circ}$

Distance traveled by first plane = 730×2.9 = 2117 m

And distance traveled by second plane = 590×2.9 = 1711 m

We represent these distances as two sides of the triangle, and the distance between the planes as the side opposing the angle 38.7.

Using the law of cosine, $d^2$ representing the distance between the planes, we see that:

$d^2=2117^2 + 1711^2 -2\times (2117)\times (1711)cos(38.7)=1755480.2482$

d = 1324.9453 m
