    Striking the End of a Triangle in Space

    ok so let position of the CM be R and let's work in the x y z coordinate system Then R=[m(0,0,0)+m(2a,0,0)+m(4a,0,0)+3m(2a,2a,0)]/6m which simplifies to R=((4/3)a,(1/3)a,0) Then using the equation Impulse=(mtotal)(vcm) we can write: P=(6m)(vcm) vcm=p/6m Now to find the initial angular...

    Mechanics Falling Chain Problem

    Homework Statement A chain of length L and mass density σ kg/m is held in a heap. I grab an end of the chain that protrudes a bit out of the top. The heap is then released so that the chain can unravel with time. Assuming that the chain has no friction with itself, so that the remaining part...
