Halliday, Resnick & Walker — Center of Mass and Linear Momentum: Problem 1
A 2.00 kg particle has the xy coordinates (−1.20 m, 0.500 m), and a 4.00 kg particle has the xy coordinates (0.600 m, −0.750 m). Both lie on a horizontal plane. At what (a) x and (b) y coordinates must you place a 3.00 kg particle such that the center of mass of the three-particle system has the coordinates (−0.500 m, −0.700 m)?
📝 Solution Approach
Given: 2.00 kg, 1.20 m, 0.500 m, 4.00 kg, 0.600 m, 0.750 m
Find: (a) x and; (b) y coordinates must you place a 3
