A 6.00 kg mass is located at (1.0 m, −2.00 m, 3.00 m), a 5.00 kg mass is located at (1.0 m, 3.00 m, −2.00 m), and a 4.00 kg mass is located at (−1.0 m, −2.00 m, 2.00 m). The center of gravity of the system of masses is

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The center of gravity is calculated by taking the weighted average of the positions of the masses. The x, y, and z coordinates are calculated separately using the formula: (Σmi*xi)/Σmi, (Σmi*yi)/Σmi, (Σmi*zi)/Σmi. For this system, the center of gravity is (7/15 m, −5/15 m, 16/15 m).
