That's a pretty confusing mix of variable names. What's AH, C, the m in mx+C? Why switch from y to h?Anthonyphy2013 said:xcm=1/M∫xd(ρ/AH)
and the height is y=2/3 x as =mx+C. and should I put h = 2/3 x ?
ρ/AH is not going to give you mass. And... the area and height of what, exactly?Anthonyphy2013 said:xcm=1/M∫xd(ρ/AH) , A is the area and H is the height
The center of mass is a point where the mass of an object is evenly distributed in all directions. It is also known as the center of gravity.
To find the center of mass of an object, you need to locate the point where the object is perfectly balanced. This can be done by finding the average position of all the individual particles that make up the object.
Finding the center of mass of an object is important because it helps determine its stability and the way it will behave under different forces. It is also crucial in designing structures and objects that need to be balanced.
The formula for finding the center of mass of a triangle is (x1 + x2 + x3) / 3, (y1 + y2 + y3) / 3. This means that the center of mass is located at the average of the x and y coordinates of the three vertices of the triangle.
Yes, the center of mass of an object can be outside of the object if the object is irregularly shaped or has an asymmetrical distribution of mass. This can also occur in objects with holes or hollow spaces.
