Answer:
![r_{cm}=[12.73,12.73]cm](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=r_%7Bcm%7D%3D%5B12.73%2C12.73%5Dcm)
Explanation:
The general equation to calculate the center of mass is:

Any differential of mass can be calculated as:
Where "a" is the radius of the circle and λ is the linear density of the wire.
The linear density is given by:

So, the differential of mass is:


Now we proceed to calculate X and Y coordinates of the center of mass separately:


Solving both integrals, we get:


Therefore, the position of the center of mass is:
![r_{cm}=[12.73,12.73]cm](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=r_%7Bcm%7D%3D%5B12.73%2C12.73%5Dcm)
Answer: coefficient of static friction
= 0.31
Explanation: Since they negotiate the curve without skidding, the frictional force (F1) equals the centripetal force (F2).
F1= uN
F2 = M*(v²/r)
M is the combined mass 450kg
V is the velocity 18m/s
r is the radius 106m
N is the normal reaction 4410N
u is the coefficient of static friction
Making u subject of the formula we have that,
u = {450*(18²/106)} /4410
=1375.47/4410
=0.31
NOTE: coefficient of friction is dimensionless. It as no Unit.
That depends on the mass of the object, and the unit of the '46.4' .
If the '46.4' is ' meters per second² ' , then the force required is
(mass of the object in kilograms) x (46.4) newtons .
