Fred Flintstone’s club–ax is made up of two parts: an uniform 4.0 kg stick and a symmetrical 7 kg stone attached to the end of the stick. The dimensions of the club-ax are shown in the figure. How far is the center of mass from the handle end of the club-ax? Express your answer in cm.
The center of mass for a human body can be determined by a segmental method. Using cadavers, it
is possible to determine the mass of individual body segments (as a proportion of total body
mass) and the center of mass for each segment (often expressed as a distance from one end of the
segment). Finding the overall body center of mass can be a complex calculation, involving more than
10 body segments. Below, we will look at a simplified model that uses just six segments: head, trunk,
two arms, and two legs.

Consider the Boeing 787 "Dreamliner", with a mass of 198000 kg. In this particular model, the distance from the front wheels to the rear set of wheels is 23.8 m. a) If the center of mass of the airplane is along a line through the center and 3.00 m in front of the rear wheels, how much force, in meganewtons, does the ground exert on each set of rear wheels when the plane is at rest on the runway? b) How much force, in meganewtons, does the ground exert on the front set of wheels?arrow_forwardObjects with a uniform mass distribution and a symmetric shape have a center of mass at the center of the object. For non-uniform objects, the center of mass needs to be determined experimentally. To measure the center of mass of such an object, a pivot is placed in the middle of a board and the top of the non-uniform object is placed to the right of the pivot. When a uniform 10.0 kg mass has its center placed 60.0 cm to the left of the pivot the system balances perfectly (as shown below). The mass of the non-uniform object is measured with an electronic scale in the lab and found to beM = 39.8 kg .
