Chapter 1: Q2 E (page 1)

The center of gravity of a 5.00-kg irregular object is shown in Fig. E11.2. You need to move the center of gravity 2.20cmto the left by gluing on a 1.50-kgmass, which will then be considered as part of the object. Where should the center of gravity of this additional mass be located?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Thus, the center of gravity is left shifted by a length of 9.53 cm.

Step by step solution

01

Center of Gravity

There is a point inside any object where the whole weight of that body is concentrated, balancing all other parts of that body. This point is considered to be the Center of Gravity.

02

Find the distance

Given that the irregular object has mass m1=5.00kg. When the mass m2=1.50kgis added, the center of gravity shifts to the left byxm=2.20cm.

Let the whole set up illustrated as a free body diagram shown in the figure as:

Now, for the center of gravity, we have:

xcm=m1x1+m2x2m1+m2-2.20=5.000+1.50x5.00+1.50-2.20=1.506.50xx=-9.53cm

Thus, the center of gravity of the object, after adding extra mass, is shifted to the left by 9.53 cm.

Planet Vulcan.Suppose that a planet were discovered between the sun and Mercury, with a circular orbit of radius equal to 2/3 of the average orbit radius of Mercury. What would be the orbital period of such a planet? (Such a planet was once postulated, in part to explain the precession of Mercury鈥檚 orbit. It was even given the name Vulcan, although we now have no evidence that it actually exists. Mercury鈥檚 precession has been explained by general relativity.)

Your uncle is in the below-deck galley of his boat while you are spear fishing in the water nearby. An errant spear makes a small hole in the boat鈥檚 hull, and water starts to leak into the galley. (a) If the hole is 0.09 m below the water surface and has area 1.20 cm2, how long does it take 10.0 L of water to leak into the boat? (b) Do you need to take into consideration the fact that the boat sinks lower into the water as water leaks in?
