Question

В вершинах квадрата размещены АВСД соответственно массы 12 г, 9 г, 2 г и 4г. Сторона квадрата равна 8 см. На каком расстоянии (в см) от вершины А находится центр тяжести системы?

Answer 1

Пусть точка S - центр масс системы. Сторона квадрата a=8

Введем систему координат с центром в точке A , тогда остальные вершины будут иметь координаты: B(o,a), C(a,a),D(a,0). Тогда получим вектора c координатами AA(0,0), AB(0,a), AC(a,a),AD(a,0).

По опеределению центра масс, вектор центра масс будет равен:

AS=(AA*12+AB*9+AC*2+AD*4)/(12+9+2+4)=(12*(0,0)+9*(0,a)+2*(a,a)+4*(a,0))/27=

=(6a,11a)/27=(6a/27,11a/27). Тогда модуль вектора равен

|AS|=sqrt((6a/27)^2+(11a/27)^2)=a*sqrt(157)/27=8*sqrt(157)/27=~3.71 (см)

Finding the Center of Gravity of a Square

To find the distance from vertex A to the center of gravity of the system, we need to calculate the center of gravity of the individual masses placed at the vertices of the square.

The center of gravity of a system is the point where the total weight of the system can be considered to act. In a uniform gravitational field, the center of gravity is also the center of mass.

To calculate the center of gravity of the system, we can use the principle of moments. The principle of moments states that the sum of the moments of the individual masses about any point is equal to the moment of the total mass about that point.

Let's denote the side length of the square as "a" and the distances of the masses from vertex A as "x1," "x2," "x3," and "x4." The masses at the vertices are given as 12g, 9g, 2g, and 4g, respectively.

To find the center of gravity, we can use the following equation:

x1 * m1 + x2 * m2 + x3 * m3 + x4 * m4 = x * m_total

Where: - x1, x2, x3, x4 are the distances of the masses from vertex A. - m1, m2, m3, m4 are the masses at the vertices. - x is the distance from vertex A to the center of gravity. - m_total is the total mass of the system.

We can substitute the given values into the equation and solve for x.

Calculation:

Given: - Mass at vertex A (m1) = 12g - Mass at vertex B (m2) = 9g - Mass at vertex C (m3) = 2g - Mass at vertex D (m4) = 4g - Side length of the square (a) = 8cm

Using the equation mentioned above, we can calculate the distance from vertex A to the center of gravity (x).

x1 * m1 + x2 * m2 + x3 * m3 + x4 * m4 = x * m_total

Substituting the given values:

(0 * 12) + (a * 9) + (a * 2) + (a * 4) = x * (12 + 9 + 2 + 4)

Simplifying the equation:

9a + 2a + 4a = x * 27

15a = 27x

x = (15a) / 27

Substituting the value of "a" (side length of the square) as 8cm:

x = (15 * 8) / 27

x = 120 / 27

x ≈ 4.44 cm

Therefore, the center of gravity of the system is approximately 4.44 cm away from vertex A.

Please note that the above calculation assumes a uniform gravitational field and neglects any other external forces acting on the system.
