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

  • Corn syrup is also basically a sugar.
  • It will dissolve in water too .
  • If we shake the mixture in glass then corn syrup will be dissolved.

  • Oil is not soluble in water
  • Hence it won't dissolve in water.
  • It will float over water and make two layers

How are density and pressure related related to each other?
lawyer [7]

Answer:

The pressure is the measure of force acting on a unit area. Density is the measure of how closely any given entity is packed, or it is the ratio of the mass of the entity to its volume. The relation between pressure and density is direct. Change in pressure will be reflected in a change in density

You leave on a 450 miles trip in order to attend a meeting that will start 10.8 hours after you begin your trip. Along the way y
Lorico [155]

Answer:2.6 h

Explanation:

Given

Total Trip distance=450 miles

Meeting starts after 10.8 hours

safe Fastest speed is  55 mi/h

so if he drives all the to the meeting with max speed then it takes =\frac{450}{55}=8.181 h

and total allowable time is 10.8

Therefore longest time he can spend over dinner is 10.8-8.181 \approx 2.6 hours
