Halliday, Resnick & Walker β Center of Mass and Linear Momentum: Problem 2
Figure 9.13 shows a three-particle system, with masses \( m_1 = 3.0 \text{ kg} \), \( m_2 = 4.0 \text{ kg} \), and \( m_3 = 8.0 \text{ kg} \). The scales on the axes are set by \( x_s = 2.0 \text{ m} \) and \( y_s = 2.0 \text{ m} \). What are (a) the \( x \) coordinate and (b) the \( y \) coordinate of the systemβs center of mass? (c) If \( m_3 \) is gradually increased, does the center of mass of the system shift toward or away from that particle, or does it remain stationary?
