Explorers in the jungle find an ancient monument in the shape of a large isosceles triangle as shown. The monument is made from tens of thou- sands of small stone blocks of density = 800 kg/m3 . The monument is 15.7 m high and 64.8 m wide at its base and is everywhere 3.60 m thick from front to back. Before the monument was built many years ago, all the stone blocks lay on the ground. (a) Choosing a coordinate system with x = 0 at the center of the pyramid, y = 0 at the base of the pyramid, and z = 0 at the face of the pyramid shown in the diagram, determine the coordinates of the center of mass of the pyramid in the x, y, and z directions. (b) How much work did laborers do on the blocks to put them in position while building the entire monument? Note: The gravitational potential energy of an object–Earth system is given by Ug = MgyCM, where M is the total mass of the object and yCM is the elevation of its center of mass above the chosen reference level.
In the ammonia (NH3) molecule of the figure, three hydrogen (H) atoms form an equilateral triangle, with the center of the triangle at distance d = 9.40 × 10–11 m from each hydrogen atom. The nitrogen (N) atom is at the apex of a pyramid, with the three hydrogen atoms forming the base. The nitrogen-to-hydrogen atomic mass ratio is 13.9, and the nitrogen-to-hydrogen distance is L = 10.14 × 10–11 m. What are the (a) x and (b) y coordinates of the molecule's center of mass?
