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

Write an<br> explicit formula for<br> then<br> th<br> an.<br> term of the sequence 45, 15,5. ....
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

The sequence above is a geometric sequence

For an nth in a geometric sequence

u(n) = a {r}^{n - 1}

where n is the number of terms

a is the first term

r is the common ratio

From the question

a = 45

r = 15 / 45

The explicit formula for the sequence is

U(n) = 45(1/3)^n-1

Hope this helps you
