The center of mass is the point where the sum of the relative weighted

position of distributed masses m₁, m₂, and m₃ is zero.

The responses are as follows;

(a) The symbolic equation for $x_{cm}$ is $x_{cm} = \dfrac{ d \times \left(\dfrac{m_1}{2} + m_3 \right)}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3}$ (b) $x_{cm} = \underline{1.95\overline{185}}$ (c) The symbolic equation for $y_{cm}$ is $y_{cm} = \dfrac{m_1 \cdot d \cdot \dfrac{\sqrt{3} }{2}}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3}$ (d) $y_{cm}$ ≈ 1.53

Reasons:

The given masses and their location are;

Location of the masses = Thee vertices of the equilateral triangle

Side length of the equilateral triangle, d = 3.4 cm

m₁ = 140 g, location = Top vertex of the equilateral triangle

m₂ = 45 g, location = Left vertex of equilateral triangle

m₃ = 85 g, location = Right vertex of the equilateral triangle

Assumption;

The location of the left vertex of equilateral triangle = The origin (0, 0)

Therefore;

The location of the right vertex of equilateral triangle = (3.4, 0)

Location of the top vertex of the equilateral triangle = (3.4×cos(60°), 3.4×sin(60°))

Which gives;

Location of the top vertex of the equilateral triangle = (1.7, 1.7×√3)

(a) The symbolic equation for the horizontal component of the center of

mass relative to the left vertex is given as follows;

$x_{cm} = \dfrac{m_1 \cdot x_1 + m_2 \cdot x_2 + m_3 \cdot x_3}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3}$

Where;

x₁ = x-coordinate of the top vertex = $\dfrac{d}{2}$

x₂ = x-coordinate of the left vertex = 0

x₃ = x-coordinate of the right vertex = d

Therefore, we have;

$x_{cm} = \dfrac{m_1 \cdot \dfrac{d}{2} + m_2 \times 0 + m_3 \cdot d}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3} = \dfrac{ d \times \left(\dfrac{m_1}{2} + m_3 \right)}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3}$

The symbolic equation for the horizontal component of the center of mass relative to the left vertex, in centimeters is $x_{cm} = \underline{ \dfrac{ d \times \left(\dfrac{m_1}{2} + m_3 \right)}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3}}$

(b) The horizontal component of the center of mass relative to the left

vertex is therefore;

$x_{cm} = \dfrac{ 3.4 \times \left(\dfrac{140}{2} + 85 \right)}{140 + 45 + 85} = \dfrac{527}{270} = 1.95\overline{185}$

$x_{cm} = \underline{1.95\overline{185}}$

relative to the left vertex is given as follows;

$y_{cm} = \dfrac{m_1 \cdot y_1 + m_2 \cdot y_2 + m_3 \cdot y_3}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3}$

Where;

y₁ = d × sin(60°) = $d \cdot \dfrac{\sqrt{3} }{2}$

y₂ = 0

y₃ = 0

Therefore;

$y_{cm} = \dfrac{m_1 \cdot d \cdot \dfrac{\sqrt{3} }{2}+ m_2 \times 0 + m_3 \times 0}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3} = \dfrac{m_1 \cdot d \cdot \dfrac{\sqrt{3} }{2}}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3}$

The symbolic equation for the vertical component of the center of mass

relative to the left vertex is therefore;

$y_{cm} = \underline{\dfrac{m_1 \cdot d \cdot \dfrac{\sqrt{3} }{2}}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3}}$

(d) The vertical component of the center of mass relative to the left vertex

is found by plugging in the values of the variables as follows;

$y_{cm} = \dfrac{140 \times 3.4 \times \dfrac{\sqrt{3} }{2}}{140 + 45 + 85} = \dfrac{119}{135} \cdot \sqrt{3}$

$y_{cm} = \underline{\dfrac{119}{135} \cdot \sqrt{3} \approx 1.53}$

$y_{cm}$ ≈ 1.53

Xcm = 1.95 cm and Ycm = 1.76 cm

Explanation:

The very useful concept of mass center is

R cm = 1/M ∑ $m_{i}$ $r_{i}$

Where ri, mi are the mass positions of the bodies from some reference point by selecting and M is the total mass of the body.

Let's look for the total mass

M = m₁ + m₂ + m₃

M = 140 + 45 + 85

M = 270 g

Let's look for the position of each point

Point 1. top vertex, if the triangle has as side d

R₁ = d / 2 i ^ + d j ^

R₁ = (1.7 cm i ^ + 3.4 j ^) cm

Point 2. left vertex. What is the origin of the system?

R₂ = 0

Point 3. Right vertex

R₃ = d i ^

R₃ = 3.4 i ^ cm

a) The x component of the massage center

Xcm = 1 / M (m₁ x₁ + m₂ x₂ + m₃ x₃)

Xcm = 1 / M (m₁ d / 2 + 0 + m₃ d)

Xcm = d / M (m₁ / 2 + m₃)

b) Let's write the mass center component x

Xcm = 1/270 (1.7 140 + 0 + 3.4 85)

Xcm = 238/270

Xcm = 1.95 cm

c) let's find the component and center of mass

Ycm = 1 / M (m₁ y₁ + m₂ y₂ + m₃ y₃)

Ycm = 1 / M (m₁ d + 0 + 0)

Ycm = m₁ / M d

d) let's calculate

Y cm = 1/270 (140 3.4 + 0 + 0)

Ycm = 1.76 cm
