Concept explainers

Center of Gravity of a system

The centre of gravity is a property that is based on the geometry of a rigid body or any particle. It is described as an equilibrium point or a hypothetical location where the total weight of the body is concentrated.

Question

m1 = 6.0 kg at (0.0, 0.0) m, m2 = 2.3 kg at (0.0, 4.3) m, and m3 = 4.0 kg at (3.9, 0.0) m.
Determine where we should place a fourth object with a mass m4 = 8.2 kg so that the center of gravity of the four-object
arrangement will be at (0.0, 0.0) m.
