Question

Determine the center of gravity of the system composed of 19.6 N-board that is 1.0 m long and has on the top two objects as showed in this figure.   The small cube has a weight of 9.8 N and a side of  0.2 m.  The large cube has a mass of 1.5 kg and a side of 0.3 m. Take the origin at the point A.

Determine the center of gravity of the system composed of 19.6 N-board that is 1.0mm long and has on the top two objects as showed in this figure. The small cube has a weight of 9.8 N and a side of 0.2 m. The large cube has a mass of 1.5 kg and a side of 0.3 m. Take the origin at the point A. AL

Explanation / Answer

Center of gravity = [m1x1+m2x2+m3x3]/[m1+m2+m3]

= [(19.6/9.8)*0.5+(9.8/9.8)*0.9+1.5*0.3/2]/[19.6/9.8+9.8/9.8+1.5]

= 0.472 m answer
