"increments of 8" means the major divisions are 0,8,16,24 ? 

<span>x axis, calculate the moment arms from 0 </span>
<span>3x4, 2x12, 1x20 </span>
<span>from an arbitrary C </span>
<span>3(c-4) + 2(c-12) + (c-20) = 0 </span>
<span>3c - 12 + 2c -24 + c - 20 = 0 </span>
<span>6c = 56 </span>
<span>c = 9.33 </span>

<span>y axis </span>
<span>3x3, 1x12, 2x20 </span>
<span>3(c-4) + 1(c-12) +2 (c-20) = 0 </span>
<span>3c - 12 + c - 12 + 2c - 40 = 0 </span>
<span>6c = 64 </span>
<span>c = 10.67 </span>

<span>so center is x = 9.33, y = 10.67 </span>

Answer:

(\bar{X},\bar{Y})=(2\frac{1}{3},2\frac{2}{3})

Explanation:

Since the given sheet is of steel hence it has a homogeneous density, each piece of square measurement according to the graph will have <em>equal mass</em>.

<u>For X coordinate of center of mass:</u>

\bar{X}=\frac{m_1.x_1+m_2.x_2+m_3.x_3+m_4.x_4+m_5.x_5+m_6.x_6}{m_1+m_2+m_3+m_4+m_5+m_6}

where:

x_1,x_2,x_3,x_4,x_5,x_6 are the respective geometric abscissa of square pieces.

Since,

Respective masses of the square pieces

m_1=m_2=m_3=m_4=m_5=m_6=m\,(let)

So,

\bar{X}=m\times \frac{(x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4+x_5+x_6)}{6m}

\bar{X}= \frac{(3+1+1+1+3+5)}{6}

\bar{X}=2\frac{1}{3}

<u>For Y coordinate of center of mass:</u>

\bar{Y}=\frac{m_1.y_1+m_2.y_2+m_3.y_3+m_4.y_4+m_5.y_5+m_6.y_6}{m_1+m_2+m_3+m_4+m_5+m_6}

where:

y_1,y_2,y_3,y_4,y_5,y_6 are the respective geometric ordinates of square pieces.

Since,

Respective masses of the square pieces

m_1=m_2=m_3=m_4=m_5=m_6=m\,(let)

So,

\bar{Y}=m\times \frac{(y_1+y_2+y_3+y_4+y_5+y_6)}{6m}

\bar{Y}= \frac{(5+5+3+1+1+1)}{6}

\bar{Y}=2\frac{2}{3}

∴Center of mass of the given figure is:

(\bar{X},\bar{Y})=(2\frac{1}{3},2\frac{2}{3})

zzz [600]

Answer:

Continental drift theory describes the long term effect of plate tectonics.

Explanation:

The long term result of plate tectonic movement is the continental drift. The continents of Earth lay on tectonic plates, that are in motion and interaction via plate tectonics. The drift of the Earths continent is an ongoing process evident in the rift valleys and seafloor spreading zones.

The theory that  the Earth's continents are dynamic and have drifted relative to each other is known as continental drift which correlates with the theory of plate tectonics.

Every year, the Earth's outer shell plates are displaced by a small amount due to the heat coming from the Earths interior via convection currents.

A sled of mass m is being pulled horizontally by a constant horizontal force of magnitude F. The coefficient of kinetic friction
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

The average velocity of the sled is vavg = s/t.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The average velocity is calculated as the traveled distance over time:

vavg = Δx/Δt

Where:

vavg = average velocity.

Δx = traveled distance.

Δt = elapsed time.

We already know the traveled distance (s) and also know the time it takes the sled to travel that distance (t). Then, the average velocity can be calculated as follows:

vavg = s/t

Have a nice day!
