Two metersticks are connected at their ends as shown in Figure P10.18. The center of mass of each individual meterstick is at its midpoint, and the mass of each meterstick is m. a. Where is the center of mass of the two-stick system as depicted in the figure, with the origin located at the intersection of the sticks? b. Can the two-stick system be balanced on the end of your finger so that it remains lying flat in front of you in the orientation shown? Why or why not? FIGURE P10.18 (a) The center of mass of the stick on the x axis would be at (0.5 m, 0), and the center of mass of the stick on the stick on the y axis be at (0, 0.5 m), assuming the sticks are uniform. We can then use Equation 10.3 to find the x and y coordinates of the center of mass. xCM=1Mj=1nmjxj=12m[m(0.50m)]=0.25myCM=1Mj=1nmjyj=12m[m(0.50m)]=0.25m The location of the center of mass is (0.25m,0.25m) (b) No. The location of the center of mass is not located on the object, so your finger would not be in contact with the object. In a different orientation, balancing by applying a force at the center of mass might be possible, but not in the orientation shown.
A meter stick has a center of mass at the 50 cm mark. Using two fingers, one at the 20 cm mark and the other at the 30 cm mark, you hold the meter stick in a horizontal, stationary position. Given the force at the 20 cm mark is 2 N, find the mass of the meter stick.
A system consists of three masses that are placed on a horizontal plane or x-axis. 1 kg at the origin, 2 kg at position x = 5 cm, and another 2kg at position x = 10 cm. Find the distance of the centre of mass of the system from the origin.

Consider a system consisting of three objects: Object A with a mass of 2 kg located at position (1, 0), Object B with a mass of 3 kg located at position (0, 2), and Object C with a mass of 1 kg located at position (-2, -1). What is the center of mass of this system?
Suppose that m1 = 5.0 kg and x1 = 2.0 m, while m2 = 12.0 kg and x2 = 6.0 m, where is the center of mass located?
Which one of the following statement is true: a. The center of mass of an object must lie within the object. b. The center of mass of an object cannot move if the net force exerted on the object is zero. c. All the mass of an object is actually concentrated at its center of mass. d. The center of mass of an object must lie outside the object. e. None of the above. ANS: e Can someone please explain why they're false. I know that the CofM can be outside the object or inside so I know a and d are false. I know, for instance, with a baseball bat that the hitting end is more massive and that the CofM is more towards the more massive object so I can assume that c is false. I'm not sure about b. Thanks
A man with mass m1 = 51 kg stands at the left end of a uniform boat with mass m2 = 168 kg and a length L = 3.3 m. Let the origin of our coordinate system be the man’s original location as shown in the drawing. Assume there is no friction or drag between the boat and water. 1) If the man now walks to the right edge of the boat, what is the location of the center of mass of the system? 2) After walking to the right edge of the boat, how far has the man moved from his original location? (What is his new location?) 3) After the man walks to the right edge of the boat, what is the new location the center of the boat? 4) Now the man walks to the very center of the boat. At what location does the man end up?
