Three beads are placed on the vertices of an equilateral triangle of side d = 3.4cm. The first bead of mass m1=140gis placed on

the top vertex. The second bead of mass m2=45g is placed on the left vertex. The third bead of mass m3=85g is placed on the right vertex.
(a) Write a symbolic equation for the horizontal component of the center of mass relative to the left vertex of the triangle.

(b) Find the horizontal component of the center of mass relative to the left vertex, in centimeters.

(c) Write a symbolic equation for the vertical component of the center of mass relative to the base of the triangle.

(d) Find the vertical component of the center of mass relative to the base of the triangle, in centimeters.

Answer:

Xcm = 1.95 cm  and Ycm = 1.76 cm

Explanation:

The very useful concept of mass center is

     R cm = 1/M  ∑ m_{i}  r_{i}

Where ri, mi are the mass positions of the bodies from some reference point by selecting and M is the total mass of the body.

Let's look for the total mass

     M = m₁ + m₂ + m₃

     M = 140 + 45 + 85

     M = 270 g

Let's look for the position of each point

Point 1. top vertex, if the triangle has as side d

      R₁ = d / 2 i ^ + d j ^

      R₁ = (1.7 cm i ^ + 3.4 j ^) cm

Point 2. left vertex. What is the origin of the system?

      R₂ = 0

Point 3. Right vertex

      R₃ = d i ^

      R₃ = 3.4 i ^ cm

a) The x component of the massage center

      Xcm = 1 / M (m₁ x₁ + m₂ x₂ + m₃ x₃)

      Xcm = 1 / M (m₁ d / 2 + 0 + m₃ d)

      Xcm = d / M (m₁ / 2 + m₃)

b)   Let's write the mass center component x

      Xcm = 1/270 (1.7 140 + 0 + 3.4 85)

      Xcm = 238/270

      Xcm = 1.95 cm

c) let's find the component and center of mass

     Ycm = 1 / M (m₁ y₁ + m₂ y₂ + m₃ y₃)

    Ycm = 1 / M (m₁ d + 0 + 0)

    Ycm = m₁ / M d

d) let's calculate

    Y cm = 1/270 (140 3.4 + 0 + 0)

    Ycm = 1.76 cm

If 100 J of electrical energy enter the bulb and 5 J of light energy leave the bulb, how many joules of heat energy leave the bu
Novay_Z [31]

As per energy conservation we know that

Energy enter into the bulb = Light energy + Thermal energy

so now we have

energy enter into the bulb = 100 J

Light energy = 5 J

now from above equation we have

100 = 5 + heat

Heat = (100 - 5) J

Heat = 95 J

If you stung by a honey bee. why we suggest rub with baking soda why?​
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

When a bee stings, it injects methanoic acid into the skin which causes immense pain and irritation. Rubbing of baking soda on the sting area gives relief because, being alkaline in nature, baking soda neutralizes the effect of methanoic acid and gives relief.
