Question

Find the x an dy coordinates of the center of mass of the plate if L=50cm

Answer 1

what is L ?

Answer 2

problema 3?

Answer 3

yeep. :)

Answer 4

Uhmmm, idk sorry.

Answer 5

thanks :)

Answer 6

Are you using integration formulas to do this? Because that's the only way I know to do it.

Answer 7

The problem is I only learn integration in Calculus B and I'm in Calculus A. Well, if that's the only way..thanks :))

Answer 8

Actually, there's another way, without integration stuff.

Answer 9

hoow? :))

Answer 10

@imron07 I'm sure there is, but I don't remember it :(

Answer 11

First, divide the plate into three rectangles. Find the coordinates of center of mass of each. Say, you find, A, B, and C. The coordinate of total center of mass is the center of mass of this three as if it were three particles.

Answer 12

that sure makes sense, I really should have been able to think of that.

Answer 13

omg yees, why didnt i do this? thank you so much @imron07

Answer 14

Okay, no problem :)
