a) The x-coordinate of the center of gravity is \frac{19}{18}\cdot a.

b) The y-coordinate of the center of gravity is \frac{19}{18}\cdot a.

<h3>Determination of the coordinates of the center of gravity</h3>

Let suppose that each square has an <em>uniform</em> density, the coordinates of the center of gravity of each square with respect to the origin are, respectively:

\vec r_{1} = (0.5\cdot a, 0.5\cdot a)

\vec r_{2} = (1.5\cdot a, 0.5\cdot a)

\vec r_{3} = (0.5\cdot a, 1.5\cdot a)

\vec r_{4} = (1.5\cdot a, 1.5\cdot a)

The center of gravity of the <em>entire</em> system is found by applying definition of <em>weighted</em> averages:

\vec r_{cg} = \frac{W_{1}\cdot \vec r_{1}+W_{2}\cdot \vec r_{2}+W_{3}\cdot \vec r_{3}+W_{4}\cdot \vec r_{4}}{W_{1}+W_{2}+W_{3}+W_{4}}

Where W_{1}, W_{2}, W_{3} and W_{4} are weights of the each square, in newtons.

Now we proceed the coordinates of the center of gravity of the entire system:

\vec r_{cg} = \frac{(50\,N)\cdot (0.5\cdot a, 0.5\cdot a) + (30\,N)\cdot (1.5\cdot a, 0.5\cdot a)+(30\,N)\cdot (0.5\cdot a, 1.5\cdot a)+(70\,N)\cdot (1.5\cdot a, 1.5\cdot a)}{50\,N+30\,N+30\,N+70\,N}

\vec r_{cg} = \frac{5}{18}\cdot (0.5\cdot a, 0.5\cdot a) +\frac{1}{6}\cdot (1.5\cdot a, 0.5\cdot a) +\frac{1}{6}\cdot (0.5\cdot a, 1.5\cdot a) + \frac{7}{18}\cdot (1.5\cdot a, 1.5\cdot a)

\vec r_{cg} = \left(\frac{19}{18}\cdot a, \frac{19}{18}\cdot a  \right) \blacksquare

a) The x-coordinate of the center of gravity is \frac{19}{18}\cdot a. \blacksquare

b) The y-coordinate of the center of gravity is \frac{19}{18}\cdot a. \blacksquare

How does the amount of friction affect the sum of forces
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

<h3>Newton's 2nd law states acceleration is proportional to the net force acting on an object. The net force is the vector sum of all the forces applied to the object. ... In this case the acceleration (slowing down) of the puck is proportional to the amount of friction.</h3>

again CORRECT ans is 4) light strikes the grooves → different wavelengths of light bend at different angles → diffracted wavelengths reach the eyes → the eyes see different colors.

moderator - plz review the ans as u deleted my right ans n approved the wrong ans :(
