The planets are all connected to the center of the sun by means of steel rods of varying lengths and at varying angles relative to the x-axis as shown above. The steel rods are all 0.5 cm in diameter and are made of steel having a density of 7.88 g/cm3. We’d like to suspend the model from it’s center of mass, but it doesn’t look like the center of mass coincides with the position of the Sun. Find the center of mass of the model (direction and angle) relative to the Sun in the center of the model. The Styrofoam spheres are so much lighter in comparison to the rods, that their mass can be neglected. Hint: calculate the center of mass for the x and y dimensions separately, then combine them to get the final answerarrow_forward
