Four very thin rods, each 8.9 m long, are joined to form a square, as part (a) of the drawing shows. The center of mass of the square is located at the coordinate origin. The rod on the right is then removed, as shown in part (b) of the drawing. What are the x- and y- coordinates of the center of mass of the remaining three-rod system? (a) (b) x coordinate of the center of mass = Number Units y coordinate of the center of mass = Number Units

X = 0 A person with mass m1 = 52 kg stands at the left end of a uniform beam with mass m2 = 105 kg and a length L = 3.3 m. Another person with mass m3 = 59 kg stands on the far right end of the beam and holds a medicine ball with mass m4 = 9 kg (assume that the medicine ball is at the far right end of the beam as well). Let the origin of our coordinate system be the left end of the original position of the beam as shown in the drawing. Assume there is no friction between the beam and floor. What is the location of the center of mass of the system? m Submit Help The medicine ball is throw to the left end of the beam (and caught). What is the location of the center of mass now? m Submit Help What is the new x-position of the person at the left end of the beam? (How far did the beam move when the ball was throw from person to person?) m Submit Help To return the medicine ball to the other person, both people walk to the center of the beam. At what x-position do they end up? m Submit Help

Several planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus) are encircled by rings, perhaps composed of material that failed to form a satellite. In addition, many galaxies contain ring-like structures. Consider a homogeneous thin ring of mass of M and outer radius R (see the figure). NOTE: Give your answer in terms of the variables given and G when applicable. (a) What gravitational attraction does it exert on a particle of mass m located on the ring's central axis a distance x from the ring center? F = (b) What is the potential energy of the mass m as a function of its distance x from the ring? U(x) = (c) Calculate −dU/dx, where U is the potential energy of the small mass m. (Is this answer what you expected?) −dU/dx = (d) Suppose that, starting from the distance x shown, the particle falls from rest as a result of the attraction of the ring of matter. What is the speed with which it passes through the center of the ring? v =
