Answer:
[ 2.67 , 1 ] m
Explanation:
Given:-
- The side lengths of the rods are as follows:
a = 4 m , b = 4 m , c = 5 m
a = Base , b = Perpendicular , c = Hypotenuse
- All rods are made of same material with uniform density. With
Find:-
Find the coordinates of the center of mass of the triangle.
Solution:-
- The center of mass of any triangle is at the intersection of its medians.
- So let’s say we have a triangle with vertices at points (0,0) , (a,0) , and (0,b).
- Median from (0,0) to midpoint (a/2,b/2) of opposite side has equation:
bx−ay=0
- Median from (a,0) to midpoint (0,b/2) of opposite side has equation:
bx+2ay=ab
- Median from (0,b) to midpoint (a/2,0) of opposite side has equation:
2bx+ay=ab
- Solve all three equations simultaneously:
bx−ay=0 , bx = ay
ay + 2ay = ab , 3ay = ab , y = b/3
bx = b/3
x = a / 3
- So the distance from the median to each leg of the triangle is 1/3 length of other leg.
- So the coordinates of the centroid for right angle triangle would be:
[ 2a/3 , b/3 ]
[ 2.67 , 1 ] m
The law of conservation tells us that no mass is lost. This is true because when wood burns or turns into ash, some of it is escaped as gases like carbon dioxide and water vapor into air . If we calculate the mass of these atmospheric gases that evolved when the wood turned into ash, we would find that the total mass of all these substances including the ash is equal to the log of wood.
