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

A 10 µf capacitor is charged to 108 v and is then connected across a 328 ω resistor. what is the initial charge on the capacitor
valina [46]
The capacitance is defined as the maximum charge stored in a capacitor, Q, divided by the voltage applied, V:
C= \frac{Q}{V}

The capacitor is initially charged with the battery of 108 V, so the the initial charge on the capacitor can be found by re-arranging the previous formula:
Q=CV=(10 \mu F)(108 V)=1080 \mu C

As you found out in the previous part, bernoulli's equation tells us that a fluid element that flows through a flow tube with de
8090 [49]
This causes the fluid to increase its speed. Bernoulli's principle tells us that an increase in the speed of a fluid happens at the same time with a reduction in pressure or a reduction in the fluid's potential energy. This necessitates that the amount of kinetic energy, potential energy and internal energy stays persistent.

Does hot air rise? Why?
pashok25 [27]

Answer: Yes

Explanation:

does hot air rise

er substances, expands when heated and contracts when cooled. Because there is more space between the molecules, the air is less dense than the surrounding matter and the hot air floats upward. This is the concept used in the hot air balloons.
