Let v1,....., vk be vectors, and suppose that a point mass of m1,....., mk is located at the tip of each vector. The center of m

ass for this set of point masses is equal to: v = [(m1v1 +.....+ mkvk)/m] where m = m1 +.....+ mk. Determine how to divide a total mass of 11 kg among the vectors u1 = (−1, 3), u2 = (3, −2), and u3 = (5, 2) so that the center of mass is (21/11, 6/11).

Answer: m1 = 4

m2 = 5

m3 = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

given (21/11, 6/11) = m1 (-1/3) + m2 (3, -2) + m3 (5, 2)

= (-m1 + 3m2 + 5m3) / 11 = 21/11

= (3m1 + (-2)m2 + 2m3) / 11 = 6/11

so that m1 + m2 +m3 = 11

-m1 + 3m2 + 5m3 = 21

3m1 - 2m2 + 2m3 = 6

from this, we get the augmented matrix as

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}-1&1&1&11\\-1&3&5&21\\3&-2&2&6\end{array}\right]

= \left[\begin{array{cccc}-1&1&1&11\\0&4&6&32\\0&-5&-1&-27\end{array}\right]  \left \{ {{R2=R2 + R1} \atop {R3=R3 -3R1 }]} \right.

= \left[\begin{array}{cccc}-1&1&1&11\\0&1&3/2&8\\0&-5&-1&-27\end{array}\right]

= \left[\begin{array}{cccc}-1&1&1&11\\0&1&3/2&8\\0&0&13/2&13\end{array}\right]

(R3 = R3 + 5R2)

this gives m1 + m2 + m3 = 11

m2 + 3/2 m3 = 8

13/2 m3 = 8

13/2 m3 = 13

m3 = 2

m2 = 8 -3/2 (2) = 5

= m1 = 11- 5 - 2 = 4

this gives

m1 = 4

m2 = 5

m3 = 2

$550.00 is what percent of $1580.00 ?
vodka [1.7K]

The answer is 35%. You just take 550.00/1580.00=0.34810127 then you turn that into percent (round up the 4 to a 5 since the next number is 8). And you get 35%

Lcm can you help me learn the process of lcm
Svetllana [295]
Say you had the numbers 3 and 4. The LCM is the lowest number that both 3 and 4 will factor into.
The multiples of 4: 4,8,12,16,20,24
The multiples of 3: 3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24
They both factor into 12 and 24 but 12 is the least common multiple or smallest number they both go into :) I really hope this helps!! :)
