A system consists of three masses connected by light (effectively massless) rigid rods. The first, m1 = 3.00 kg is at a distance of 2.75 m along the y axis. The second, m2 = 4.00 kg is at a distance of 2.50 m along the x axis. A final mass, m3 = 2.50 kg, is placed at (-4.00, -3.30) m and connected to m1 and m2 so that the resulting center of mass of the system is at the origin. The entire system rotates about the origin. A force with a constant magnitude of 2.9 N is applied leftwards on m1. And a force of 9.7 N is applied downwards on m2. What is the resultant angular acceleration of the system about the origin, if angular acceleration out of the page is considered positive?

A 59-kg woman and a 71-kg man sit on a seesaw, 3.5 m long. Where is their center of mass? Answers: 1.91 m from the woman 1.59 m from the man 0.16 m from the center (Answers were given to us. We only need to look for the solutions.)
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.

We watch two identical astronomical bodies A and B, each of mass m, fall toward each other from rest because of the gravitational force on each from the other. Their initial center-to-center separation is Ri. Assume that we are in an inertial reference frame that is stationary with respect to the center of mass of this twobody system. Use the principle of conservation of mechanical energy (Kf + Uf = Ki + Ui) to find the following when the centerto- center separation is 0.5Ri : (a) the total kinetic energy of the system, (b) the kinetic energy of each body, (c) the speed of each body relative to us, and (d) the speed of body B relative to body A. Next assume that we are in a reference frame attached to body A (we ride on the body). Now we see body B fall from rest toward us. From this reference frame, again use Kf + Uf = Ki + Ui to find the following when the center-to-center separation is 0.5Ri : (e) the kinetic energy of body B and (f) the speed of body B relative to body A. (g) Why…
